    There is considerable difference between cross drilled and slotted brake rotors. A slotted rotor lasts considerably longer than its counterpart, as heat which builds up when braking automatically gets discharged. It is a lot heavier than a drilled rotor which means that it will stop in a short distance. The cross drilled rotor on the other hand is a lot lighter in weight. In wet weather it can get rid of water and have a better distribution of weight. Both types of brake rotors stop in a shorter distance than standard rotors. Normally these types of rotors are fitted to cars that are meant for some type of racing.
