SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is a some vibration that the heavier rotor was masking ? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Nah, the usual mud on the back of my rims. Just wondering if anyone had rotor gunking issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 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?
