I swapped vented rotors onto my '80 wagon back in Dec. Now I'm thinking of reswapping solid rotors back on and putting the vented rotors on my solid rotor '83 Brat, which will be street only. Does anyone have probs with mud gunking the vented rotors up? After playing around, I notice more wheel vibes than with solid rotors.

vented rotors are the norm on 4wd trucks, or on any modern vehical. They never have an issue. Maybe there is a some vibration that the heavier rotor was masking ?

Nah, the usual mud on the back of my rims. Just wondering if anyone had rotor gunking issues.

Never gave me a problem on my truck, and I did have the front axle under thin clay-filled mud a couple times. The vents are tapered out towards the outside, and open in and out, so anything that gets in will get slung out.

Aren't the vented rotors heavier than the solid rotors?

They are heavier. More material.
