Hi everyone, I was wondering, whether there is a recommendation for the XC90 brake rotors so far? My XC90 is 2010, foru-wheel drive, and I as it is time to replace the rotors, I thought maybe there is a better option to the regular rotors?
Now, I've heared a lot of slotted and vented rotors, and saw dozens of these avail online, okay, but I do not really know if these holes really make a difference, you know.
That's why decided to ask on the Volvo forum, because, you know, that's not the race car. Yet, last winter when I was in NY, i parked using a hand brake. It was freezing, and when I hd to drive 2 hrs later, I noticed that I had hard time taking it off the hand brake. After several miles I stopped near a shop and noticed something was burning right inside of the wheel. Now, everything's fine, nothing has melted except of a rubber fitting, which I replaced.
And now keeping that situation in mind, I was wondering, if I had slotted or drilled or in any other case vented brakes, would it make any difference?
