Default Straight slots Vs. curved slots?

Hi i was wondering if anyone knew what the difference was between straight slots (powerslot) vs. curved slots (EBC rotors)? I'm in need of brake pads and want to upgrade the rotors as well with SS brake lines.

Were you referring cross-drilled v.s. slotted?

Im not sure what the diffrence is but from my understanding is that TRD has alot of break dust while the EBC doesnt at all, so that might have something to do with it

biggie,

GS3 is asking for the rotors, not pads.


GS3,

Oh~ now I understand what you are saying. Since they both have the same intention, keep rotors as cool as possible. The performance difference should be min as how often you push your brake to the limit . I wouldn't worry about that. Just pick the style you want and the one you could afford.

Yeah, I noticed the error and had changed it accordingly. Doing kernel projects for hours kind of numb my mind.
