Rotors

Are slotted and dimpled that much better that smooth rotors. My car is used as a daily but aggressive driving habits. Just curious if it makes that big of a difference. I've put them on a few vehicles in the past but to be honest I'm not sure I saw a big difference. I will say they did stop well but could they have done that well on oem.

They're not better. For daily driving they're worse. They have some advantages when on the track.

SleeperBMW69, this thread is worth reading:

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...dimpled+rotors

TL;DR: "dimpled rotors have a place in automotive engineering for much heavier vehicles.
In lighter cars, cross-drilled rotors offer the same outgassing functions with a better cooling capability."
