If you are planning to purchase performance brake rotors for your vehicle, you should study brake rotor vein design before making your final decision about any brake rotor design, brand, and type. 

High end brake rotors utilize highly tested and/or patented designs that are very effective at dispersing heat, while stock rotors are much less apt to do so.  When performance brake rotors are engineered at the factory, they are done so to maximize surface area and modify air exchange to some degree. 

A well designed high performance brake rotor will be engineered to work much like a heat exchanger, and serve to evenly disperse heat across the brake rotor in a highly efficient manner.

A stock brake rotor, on the other hand, will have a less of a focus on increas...
