WHY Blank rotors are better than cross drilled and/or slotted - Honda-Tech

The only street advantage I found to drilled rotors was on my motorcycles -- blank rotors had a little braking delay when it was raining, as compared to the drilled and slotted brakes. On my bikes it was quite noticeable. For some reason, I have not seem this phenomenon with auto rotors... maybe the braking forces are so much greater on an automobile weight that the water is "squeezed-out" quicker than on a bike rotor.

And the e70 automatically dries the brakes in wet conditions anyway.

Agreed, cross drilled for the street is a waste of money.

Some cars brake systems are advanced enough to apply a little pressure to remove surface water on the rotor. I read somewhere that some BMWs do that.
