drilled or slotted?
I used to know the answer to this question, but can anyone tell me the difference and the advantages between drilled and slotted rotors and brake kits? Any info is appreciated, thanks

StopTech provides rotors slotted, drilled or plain. For most performance applications slotted is the preferred choice. Slotting helps wipe away debris from between the pad and rotor as well as increasing the "bite" characteristics of the pad. A drilled rotor provides the same type of benefit, but is more susceptible to cracking under severe usage. Many customers prefer the look of a drilled rotor and for street and occasional light duty track use they will work fine. For more severe applications, we recommend slotted rotors.

I bought drilled & slotted from NOPI for about $145. At least four cars in Scinergy GA
are rolling with them. I love the look and they work great. Here is the link
