Simple, marketing demands it - not engineers.



I see you bought the slotted/drilled... must stop just like the AMG now.
AMG AG would not have done it without doing its own testing and seeing a definite benefit. This would be like stating parts designed/tested by ///M group for BMW have no gains/use.

Never claimed It would stop like an AMG, just pointing out that in fact, tuning arms of major manufacturers (who extensively test different designs) do in fact drill/slot rotors. A fact you state there's no gain in doing.

Even Lockheed/AP Racing has a race application for drilled and slotted rotors. Lockheed/AP Racing has been engineering ultra-high performance brake systems for almost 100 years, was purchased by Brembo in '99.

These are without any doubt the 2 largest brake technology companies on the planet. You should contact them and let them know they got it all wrong!

I've seen these on the ALMS GT2 BMW ///M3 prior to the 12hrs of Sebring race. Contact Rahal Letterman Racing too.
