FWIW EBC have marketed dimpled disc rotors for a decade or more.

An interesting thread this, in more ways than one ☝️ Some excellent info regarding manufacturing and testing, importing, all of which I had some involvement.
My 2011 Puma Dual Cab did not have ABS, which I’m guessing just about everyone here has. I fitted these slotted rotors to mine, and nearly put myself through the front window. Probably most of my driving was through city traffic where we’re all in a hurry to to work or get home from work. It’s a good thing to have good brakes,, which I thought I had when I got the Puma, but found out otherwise during the first few weeks of ownership. That is, until I fitted the slotted rotors.
In my case, an amazing transformation to what was a brilliant car in every other way. Both on the road and on tracks, I found them to be much more predictable and user friendly,, they just felt better to me. Definitely stopped better.
Obviously, speed is not going to be a factor with a Defender, nor did they probably look good, especially since I don’t wash my cars very often, and even then, who washes brake components (?).
I do [emoji2]. (Well, the occasional blast with brake cleaner)Quote:
