Brembo...?
 
Do I want drilled rotors? (ones with the holes?) Or do I want rotors that are drilled and slotted? (ones with holes and line slots?) The guy told me that slotted rotors are very bad on brake pads and should be used for road-course racing only. Is this true? I thought that more people believed in the slotted than the drilled. I thought that I read somewhere that slotted ones have the chance of warping or something, so slotted ones are better.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
THANKs

Thanks, but neither of these really answer my question. I am not worried about the performance increase. I want to know if one type is better than the other, or if either type is bad on your brake pads.

If you're not worried about a performance increase, go with the standard OEM replacements. No need to spend the extra money for something that won't affect your braking with street use.

If you're just doing it for looks, get slotted rotors. They last longer and are less likely to crack. Both kinds will wear your pads out more quickly than regular rotors.
