Original GM Brake Rotors

Brake rotors help disperse the heat caused by the friction that occurs when your brake calipers press your brake pads. Which brake rotors are best four your GM car, truck, or SUV depends on what you drive. There are four types of rotors. Most economy cars a flat recycled steel type called blank & smooth brake rotors. OEM brake rotors are often higher quality here than aftermarket because of thicker internal fins that cool better. Just don't use them with ceramic brake pads. The latter's increased heat can cause faster wear. Many vehicles use drilled brake rotors. They have holes drilled on their metal surfaces that better dissipate heat and wick water and debris away. Drilled rotors mean better stopping power on wet roads, but they aren't for hot conditions. Heavy-duty trucks and SUVs usually use slotted brake rotors. They're best for towing and hauling. Their metal surfaces have long slots that improve airflow for better cooldown. The slots also help rid the rotors of debris and pad glaze, which higher temps can cause. Sports cars use drilled & slotted brake rotors. These combine drilled holes and slots that best cool brakes during performance driving. They also make high-speed braking easier. When should you replace your brake rotors? Approximately every 70,000 miles. This can depend on anything from your driving style and vehicle weight to the quality of your brakes and how you use your vehicle. Signs your brake rotors have wear include surface grooves, and squealing, squeaking, grinding, vibrating, and wobbling when braking. You'll want to change them in pairs to keep stopping even.
