Re: Need new rotors: slotted?

First thing I'd do is see what type of rotors your pad manufacturer recommends for the type of pad you plan to use.

This is all based on reading so take it with a grain of salt.
Drilled and slotted will remove brake dust and dissipate heat better. The down side is they can be prone to cracking around the holes. This would be more towards a tracked vehicle.
Second is slotted. Dissipates dust better but not the heat like the above. More inclined towards someone that drives aggressively.
Last is your normal solid rotor for standard driving.
Slots and/or drilling will wear softer pads quicker than straight rotors.

I have ceramic pads on all 4 corners of mine, drilled & slotted rotors on the front and slotted on the back. It takes a little time to warm them up so they really grip. Why do I have this setup - because that's how I bought the car and haven't had a need to replace them yet. I don't track my car but I do love those country roads with curves and these do pull the speed down right now.

Sorry - that's all I can say on the subject. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will add to this.
