Im no brake expert and this thread has provided a lot of solid information. At the same time Im a little confused.
It seems there are more negatives then positives in regard to drilled/slotted rotors and BBKs in general. If this is the case, and this is where the confusion starts, why do so many OEM vehicles, which are intended to be daily driven and have similar weight to our Civics, come from the factory with drilled rotors in huge dimensions?
I would think that a brake system similar to our Civic's would be sufficient, if indeed a bigger brake set up with drilled rotors would produce inferior daily driven performance, not taking the front and rear brake bias in consideration.
Like I said, Im no expert, but this thread has just confused the hell out of me. Why the hell would the aftermarket develop BBKs for our cars, knowing that most of us would daily drive them anyway?
