When you sit on the driver's seat and turn the ignition key you hear and feel the engine come to life. If this is an old car you will be familiar with the reassuring purring sound of the car's engine and you will know that all is well with the engine of your car and soon you will be on the way. If there is anything amiss you may spot it in the sound of the car's engine. But not all components are so easy to check, howsoever broadly. There are components that are quite passive until called into action and unless their performance breaks down completely you may not become aware that they need to be paid some attention.

For such components you need to inform yourself better about how your car works and once you know that they are a key component you can ask your mechanic to inform you the status each time the car goes for a service and if it is time to replace them you can make sure you get them replaced by a high quality option.

One such component are the brake rotors. They are the component that brake pads rub against and create the frictional force that helps slow down or stop your car. Now it is more widely known ...
... that brake pads get worn out and need to be replaced, but over a long period of time the brake rotors themselves may need to be replaced. So if you feel the braking system of your car is no longer what it was you should get the brake rotors checked along with the brake pads.

And if it is found that you need to have them replaced you should look for the latest options and choose the best one for your car. You have a choice of the regular drilled brake rotors and the high performance slotted brake rotors. The holes and slots help dissipate the heat generated due to the friction. Slotted brake rotors are better suited for high performance applications and wear out the brake pads faster. For regular use drilled rotors are good.
