I had slotted/cross drilled rotors for a few years. Waste of money. They cost way more than standard rotors and do nothing for performance, at least that I felt during autocrossing, aggressive street driving and Deals Gap. Spend the money on a set of braided stainless brake lines from Racing Beat and some Hawk or Porterfield pads. You'll get your best braking performance out of super sticky tires. Nevermind the hype.

For those of you thinking about crossed drilled rotors on your track cars (even part time track cars)
