I have slotted rotors and they work perfectly! plus i never have to worry about them cracking like drilled rotors. Although the drilled stay cooler during high-speed braking.

if u get drilled...get quality drilled because anything else will develope little cracks that stem from the drill holes.

I had drilled/slotted all around on the car untill the front started cracking and giving me problems. The rears had no cracking , probably because the fronts do most of the work. I ended up getting just slotted replacements for the fronts and havent had a problem since.

+1 for slotted
