I got these because they look teh cool. When I get a motor in the hatch, and start getting back into 'performance driving' or whatever the fuck you wanna call it, I'm slapping Brembo blanks on. Until then, with the 70hp 1.5 beast, the teh cool drilled & slotteds will be fine.

it's true that you don't need cross-drilled and slotted rotors for the street. the purpose of cross-drilling is to dissipate heat. the purpose of slotting is to "shave" off a very small amount of the brake pad surface so that fresh pad is always being used to brake. if you're running on a circuit, you need cross-drilled and slotted rotors to be really competitive, so why would you want to put blanks on when you get back to 'performance driving' ? and also, you're not losing any surface area for brake pads to bite as long as your new rotors and pads are reasonably larger than your old brakes and pads.

2.I know I don't need them for the street. Let me spell it out for you...
I BOUGHT CROSS DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS BECAUSE THEY LOOK COOL. OK? PERIOD! END OF STORY!

here's a link with some facts about cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

What is slotted mean and what does it do?
Slotted rotor, has engraved indented lines in the rotor. What it does is when you brake, it grips on to the brake pad much greater. Regular rotor has a smooth surface, when braking it does not allow the pad to grip onto anything resulting in less braking performance. Slotted rotors improve 40% braking distance then a regular OEM rotor. (OEM means Original Equipment Manufactures)
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors offered as OEM replacements should not be considered appropriate for high-speed track use.
While grooved, drilled and slotted rotors offer an enhanced appearance and add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures that are produced on the racetrack. If they are used on the track, it is very important that the rotors be carefully inspected and should not be driven on if even minor signs of deterioration are seen. Note, too, that if these products are used on the track they are not warrantable

Umm no. Both technologies were made for 40 year old pads. Pads of today barely glaze over (if you heat them up properly) and do not gas. Pads of the past used to glaze over and gas so much that the pads would ride on the trapped gas, so holes were used. Go to a real race track and look at what most guys are using. Huge blanks. Not only do they offer better braking, they are also a hell of a lot cheaper.
