new brake rotors questions
its time for my rotors to be replaced along with my brake pads. i was looking into the drilled and slotted rotors here......http://www.luxurymods.com/irotorscro...rs06is350.aspx
is it worth getting the drilled and slotted? im not sure what brand those are either. i saw on sewell the rear are $257 and the front are $198 for the blank.
any ideas or suggestions?

there's no reason to ever drill holes in car rotors- they eat through pads 25% faster, weaken the rotor and remove mass from something designed to operate as a heat sink, all in exchange for no operational benefit of any kind. Looks nice though.
Slotted can be useful for a car that will be used on the track and doesn't have the same cracking issues drilled does, but again eats through pads 25% faster and offers no benefit to a street car.
