Benefits of slots and a heat-treatment on a race circuit
The advantage of having using the slotted disc is an increase in stopping power. The advantage of the heat treated disc is an increase in durability.
For the slotted discs, our testing results showed an average braking power increase of 15-20 percent. The heat treated discs have better protection against thermal cracking, juddering, and distortion.
They also increase the life of both the pad and disc. For users who want best of both worlds, DIXCEL recommends the FS or HS series discs.
