Quoted from a respected source:
"There's no use for slotted/drilled rotors or big brake kits on the street, other than "bling bling" and a way to get rid of your money. They really aren't even worth it on the road course either... the minimal benefit (if any) of slotted or drilled rotors is nothing compared to the cost, especially since we go through rotors every race weekend. Quality big brake setups are useful on the road course, but increase operating costs and you really can do pretty well with most stock sized rotors anyway; I also have safety concerns about many of these kits. The #1 way to increase braking grip, reduce overheating, and end "warping" is all in the pads that you choose."
I couldn't agree more. I wish to add that fluid quality is of the utmost importance as well. Much of the brake fade you may have experienced is from boiling the brake fluid and causing air bubbles, which are compressible. Fluid that doesn't boil in combination with good pads will supply all the braking power you will need if you use street tires.
