[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 458553, member: 17662"] I agree that surface irregularities can increase surface area, but a slot isn't an irregularity, it's removal of mass and material. I try to avoid don't mud now, but I have had crap wedged in calipers behind them dust shield lots of different crannies around the rotor. It seem to be worse when I ran slotted rotors but that could have just been coincidence. I don't tow with my Jeep or drive in mountainous terrain. Brake fade hasn't been an issue for me. My opinion, but I don't see the need for slotted and drilled rotors out on the trail if you upgrade to the BBK. The larger diameter rotor and dual piston calipers seem to fit my needs. If I was driving an SCCA car on a track, yeah that makes sense. It just doesn't make sense for me with the way I drive my jeep. [/QUOTE]
