Ill start off with yes i have looked, ive googled and all ive found were composition diffrences. is the only real diffrence is what they are made of?

i know that the heavier the rotor and the slots help you brake faster and gets rid of debris , but the drilled helps rid the rotor of water.

but when i look at the drag race rotors they look thin? wouldnt that slow down your stop time and lenghten the distance?

Are they better then regular rotors ( Baer,Wilwood,SSBC,ect.)?
i guess im looking for a Pros/Cons of the diffrence because i plan on rebuilding my suspension.

Simply put, drag racing brakes are designed to be as light weight as possible while still being able to stop the car one time.

They are completely ill suited for the street or a road course. The problem is the rotors are extremely thin which causes them to heat up much more quickly than a standard rotor. So they are much easier to overheat. Same with the calipers and pads.

They will be worse than the awful OEM 10.5" brakes.

Thank You!

i plan on buying new rotors and calipers front and rear and they were on Sphons site while i was searching, and for the life of me i couldnt find a answer. so thanks for summing it up for me.
