From what I have been reading and told so to get sloted rotors and get the Brembo brand. ANy suggestions? THanks

you dont need slotted rotors

cross drilling and slotting does close to nothing for cooling
both make the rotor have less surface area
less surface area means less friction
less friction means less brakeing force
less braking force means your ass isnt stopping as fast
etc etc etc
cross drilling really only helps with weight.... less weight less rotational mass.... similar effect to lighter rims (not quite as profound due to being closer to the center axis point).... and with old school shitty composition pads that use to produce gasses under hard braking temperatures by givving the gas somewhere to collect instead of causing the pad to "float" over the rotor on the gas pocket
slotted rotors are also designed for the same old school shitty pads... the slots gives the gasses an escape route off the surface of the rotor.... old school shitty rotors also glaze easily under high stress braking... so the slots form edges that scrape the glaze off the surrface of the pad
unless you are running shit ass pads there is no reason to worry about glaze or gasses any more (pad composition has greatly improved)... and unless the rotors you are running are just fucking HUGE you dont need cross drilling to cut weight
basicly get blank rotors, some good pads, run good high temp brake fluid and you will be fine
I have a pair of Brembo slotted/drilled rotors, hi-temp fluid, and shitty pads.

if your worried about rotor wear why not get them frozen???? cryogenically.....i did that to mine and there ten times stronger and then havent warped yet.....yeah the sqeal like a MF'r but no warpage and no grooves.....ill look up mor info on it.. for you guys
