do you plan on using it for auto x? or is it just a street car?

drilled, i think, is a waste of money on a street car. the drilled holes tend to be harsh on your pads, wear them faster. they tend to crack when abused but are less inclined to overheat. they are the best rotor for race applications but overkill for street

slotted help a lot, even on street cars. they remove gasses and dust from the contact surface which is nice during emergency braking. they are a little easier on your pads compared to drilled. great upgrade for street cars but not enough for a serious race car.


if you wanted brakes for a serious race car i would look into upgrade kits from brembo or baer.

Slotted yeah but i dont think drilled do a whole lot besides remove surface area off the brake face.
