[s-cars] Re: Slotted Rotors

Agreed, slotting or cross drilling is to relieve pad outgassing. However, the water issues seemed interesting, to say the least. And the slots/holes will also aid in water removal, no matter how little of it would be there on a hard driving car.

Yep, to prevent pad outgassing from interfering with pad to rotor contact. An
added benefit on cross drilled rotors in which the drilling does not vent to
atmospere the slots allow for the gasses to, yet again, escape and help avoid a
pulsating sensation that can be felt through the pedal.
