I can't figure what dimples would do. Wouldn't they fill up with dust and dirt?
What performance to you get with drilled and/or grooved?
If you like the look, fine. Don't kid yourself regarding performance.
Quality pads and sticky tires will stop you far faster than any kind of rotor.
To me stopping distance = performance.
I have yet to cook my brakes with OE blanks.
Edit: One of the first sites I found 'dimpled rotors'.

| Designed for the performance enthusiast who wants the "look" of a cross drilled brake rotor without the inherent cracking problems, Power Slot's Pro Stop rotors give you the best of both worlds. Pro Stop rotors are machined with our highly effective Vac-U-Slot design and enhanced with a series of "dimples" that look like drilled holes. As the brake pad contacts the rotor, the dimples turn black, simulating the cross-drilled look. |
Come on. Just read it. The
look of cross drilled without
cracking problems.
It's a gimmick. Nothing performance about it. Strictly show. But that's what you are looking for, OK. I prefer function over style.
