ok ive searched and i havent really found a whole lot.

im in hte market for upgrading my rotors and pads. My pads are starting to make some noises and i might as well upgrade my rotors while im at it since i plan to *hopefully* turbo sometime.

My question is whats better drilled, slotted or both?? Ive looked into powerslot, StopTech, and dezods rotors that they market.

Any suggestions and if u could provide info that would be great

In theory drilled and slotted rotors are great, however on a car like ours they'd rarely get the use in which they were designed. (unless doing auto-x, hpde, etc etc)

However if you want the look of a performance brake system, go slotted. Drilled rotors have a cracking problem (almost every brand at some point) when used extensively. No matter what a slotted/drilled rotor will eat through brake pads faster then non drilled or slotted.
