Just ordered some drilled and slotted rotors...

...for a Town and Country. False alarm, nothing cool going on here.

But why?

My grandmother lives on a hilltop and keeps fragging the cheap ones. Cooking them like prawns. This is the “HAHAHA TRY OVERHEATING THESE” experiment.

It will now brake faster than it can accelerate. Marvelous.

do they make specific kit, or you had to find some replacement that matched the size and bolt pattern perfectly?

Just remember it’ll wear the pads faster.

Rockauto, baby. I haven’t bothered to see what else they fit.

It’s been cacking (no, not “cracking, autocucumber) the rotors at a higher rate than pads, so that may be a welcome change...

are they store brand, or are we looking at the first T&C with a Brembo/Baer six-piston floating rotor unit?

Just a rotor swap for now. Centrics. Hi-po T&C needs to happen, though.

I put some on my 530i, no noticeable change but locals out here (South Dakota) said the road salt and rocks they lay down to break ice on the streets get stuck on rotor surfaces and is why I’ve warped rotors on two cars over the winter.

The idea is salt and whatever have channels to either lay inside (slots) or be expelled from the rotor surface (drilled holes), preventing them from getting between pad and rotor. We’ll see.

Just steal the ceramic rotors from any sport car that never sees track time, they’ll be more useful on that Town & Country.
