What is the name of the brake system component that the brake pads clamp down on to slow and stop the vehicle?

Brake rotors are integral to the friction process created by brake pads, which allows the car to stop. Rotors typically come in two varieties: drilled and slotted. Drilled rotors reduce the amount of heat, gas and water buildup, which result in longer lasting rotors. Slotted rotors also allow for the reduction of unwanted elements, but they are stronger because the surface has not been compromised with holes, which is beneficial for performance drivers.
