As for drilled/slotted, this is a gray area for brakes. Many companies like to advertise the benefits of these rotors, when in fact, they really don't do that much. Slotted rotors actually do more as they allow for gases and dust to be released faster. However, drilled rotors can actually fatigue quicker and crack under stress.
