Default Drilled or Slotted?

I am getting brembo rotors for my car and i am wondering what you guys think, they are the same price, should i get the cross-drilled or slotted rotors? I am going for reliable but strong breaks.

supposedly cross drilled keep em cool while slotted keeps the pad fresh and keeps gas from building up and eliminates fade, also slotted reduces life, i researched a lot and found that slotted doesnt hurt pad life too pad so im going for both check out ecstuning.com they got some cool rotors

CD rotors can't be turned if you warp them. Slotted rotors can be turned.

go slotted. drilled ones can crack in high heat if you ever go to the track.

yea, slotted, drilled will crack toward the end of its life, and under high heat

Yep, I did the same research and decided slotted was the best idea between the two.

Yeah, Mintex have a good reputation, I'm sure they'd be fine. The EBC Greenstuff pads are popular too, some people buy pads from Hawk also. You'd be good with either of the three.
