There's no OEM drilled and slotted rotors for F Sport RWD.

You can get aftermarket ventilated, slotted and drilled rotors.
Ventilated rotors have superior cooling to solid rotors.
However, slotted and drilled designs are said to be mainly for cosmetic purposes, with little, if any advantage in cooling.

Unfortunately there are no companies that offer 2-piece rotors for the F Sport other than OEM at the moment. As stated in another thread, we're currently in the process of casting our own 2-piece rotors just like OEM along with 1-piece rotors as well which won't be available until the of the year.

OP, don't know about slotting but you can always remove your rotors and get them drilled at a local shop. Just ensure they don't taper the holes. It should be cheaper and much better than an aftermarket solution. Good luck!

I found some drilled and slotted rotors made by EBC. They said they are a direct fit for the Front Rotors. This is not a Big Break Kit either. So i purchased them and will post them once they get installed.
