Why the attitude? Also, I didn't see the OP asking about this for a race application, so how is that relevant? >>> Slotted make a difference, but unless you are racing or running your >>> brakes very hot continously there isn't much point to it. >> Drilled rotors have a noticably better stopping response to them. > Only if you have pads which produce lots of gas.

Then why do you claim that slotted makes a difference above? The geometry of the holes doesn't change what they do, if anything. I'm also finding your apparent hostility to be unwarranted and distracting from the main point.
