Doubts strangle me.
I have a ceramic brake pads, it is peacefully lying in my closet for 2 years. Yesterday I installed it on my car.
Experienced people say to me: "Cerámica - this is good, but remember - this is good only for " perforated " rotor. Ceramic brake pads will eat standard rotor in a short time. In addition, poor braking. And if the standard rotor overheat - total failure of brakes. "
Yesterday I drove through the city - I do not feel discomfort.
Guys, what do you think about this?

 

I think you will be fine. I used higher-friction performance pads with plain rotors on my last car in autocross events, and had no issues. I believe that drilled and slotted rotors are only for appearance in most modern applications. If you are going onto a track and braking heavily, the answer is different. On the street, you won't get enough heat in them to notice any difference.

 

drilled/slotted are for extreme high performance situations such as full on braking back to back...you will be fine unless you are doing a lemans race in your HHR

 

Drilled/Slotted rotors are for looks in most (almost all cases). I can show you C6R rotors/Lamborghini RSv rotors, neither are slotted. Drilled and slotted rotors are an old school technique that followed through to today, unfortunately.

 

the Lamborghini Aventador has drilled rotors

 

Ceramic pads are OEM on most cars today. You should not have any issues with them.

 

Thank you, guys. You reassured me.
