I know, these on topic discussions have gotta stop!

I believe slotting and drilling are about keeping the rotors cool in extreme conditions, but I could be wrong.

I can tell you…:

For street use, no drill/ slotted is needed. If you really need to choose one, my opinion is slotted... why?

Related to the 2nd question, I've seen members posted the pics of the cracked cross-drilled rotors.

Hope it helps...
Thanks for the input all! This definitely helps. Hopefully some of the others chime in soon on this as well.
