I think he means solid or vented. Not drilled and slotted. Drilled holes, slots, dimples etc. don't mean it's vented. You can have an unvented solid rotor with holes drilled in it, slots milled in it, etc. Venting means that the rotor has hollow vents in it that take heat from both sides of the rotor and allow it to vent.

To answer the original post, YES all S4 GXL's have vented rear discs, as opposed to the base model solid rear discs.

Damn.

Sorry. Y'all are quick. Too bad I always have to write a book about it.
