drilled rotor holes are FULL! LOL
Was outside on this beautiful NC day we're having here
and was working on getting 63 cleaner. My daughter came out to help
and was on the other side, came over with a blackened towel and said, "got some Daddy"......
that's when I realized the cross drilled rotor holes were FULL and caked
with brake dust. So I set out to hollow out each little hole.....
now does anyone else agree that these holes filling up would create just as much heat? Has anyone else noticed this? I checked 550 and the holes are just as clear as can be.......guess it's the 63's bigger brakes? or are they bigger?
anyone else ever addressed this? or is it even an issue?

CLK550
I had this problem earlier in the summer with my clk550. I noticed that the drilled holes were full with rotor dust but i decided not spend 2 hours cleaning them out. 3 weeks later pretty much all of the holes had little cracks above and below them. ended up needing new rotors and pads, pretty sure they make more heat when they are filled
