Re: aftermarket brake discs

[David Herlihy <davidh1972@yahoo.com>]

Just out of curiousity. I know people use these
slotted and cross drilled brakes for everyday driving,
but do these pose any types of problems in bad driving
conditions such as rain or snow? Does "normal" day to
day road grime tend to affect these types of brakes
more by any chance? 

Eventually I would like to get some slotted rotors
once mine have kicked the bed. Don't see that
happening for awhile though.
