    We have trouble cutting drilled and slotted rotors on our brake lathe. Not sure if other shops have the same issues... Just sharing our experiences.

    Many/most shops won't even do drilled/slotted rotors because it takes more time(slower feed rates) and is hard on equipment. If not done with extra time and care, you'll also get slightly uneven finishes as the cutter gets "pulled down into the surface" as it crosses over the voids.

    I just want slotted, not drilled. I know about aftermarket brakes, but was wondering if you can get the stock type 11-inch rotors slotted.

    Rock Auto lists Centric-brand "slotted" rotors, as well as "drilled" rotors and "slotted & drilled" rotors.

    Left Slotted: 12661010SL
    Right Slotted: 12661010SR

    They are $80 each.
