Drilled or Slotted... seeking opinions
Slotted over dotted IMO, but I'm extremely hard on brakes, I like to brake late and hard so I can carry more speed through the corners, I also like for the tail to dance a little;-)
I'm planning on investing in the Wilwood kit. I had a set on a Miata I had, and they were awesome. Excellent stopping power, fade resistant and they looked great. A grand is a cheap price to pay for a high-end brake kit.

and the link above is where i bought them from. Ithad pretty fast service and the cheapest price i found. And like i said, you will still need to buy lines from somewhere else. Ive got solid rotors but you can spend another $100 for drilled and slotted combo.
Don't know how old this post is, but i didn't want to start another one. I have the same question and I wanted to know if people have drilled or slotted rotors and what brake pads they have? Should I be looking for rotors that have been dipped into a certain coating to prevent cracking or anything?
I can't answer about the slotted or drilled rotors because I have stock rotors (which IMO are very competent and have stood up to frequent track use without a problem) but I can tell you about my brakes at least. I use Hawk HP Plus pads (http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/hpplus.php) and they are pretty much the sh*t haha I've put them through two intense track weekends and they are holding up strong. No fade when hot at all. I know that the brakes can take highspeed braking also because at TWS there is this corner directly after a quarter mile straight that you get going pretty fast on. Right before you get to the corner you basically almost ABS every time in order to slow down enough to make that corner. The reason I said I know they can cope with highspeed use is because in this braking zone before the corner I brake from a fairly consistant 120-130 down to 50ish every time around the track and I have not felt any fade whatsoever. Also I gain a significant amount of ground on cars at this place who have to stop before me and are braking for longer (especially heavy cars like vettes who have to slow down a lot of speed for the corner because they absolutely demolished me on the straight haha) because I can start braking a lot later.
The only problem that I have to mention is that despite them not having fade at all after warming up or even when hot, they have a "faded" feel only the very first time you hit the breaks after they get cold (which tends to be more than like 10 hours of no use). So basically every morning I just have to be aware that the first time I hit my breaks they will be a bit lazy, but after that first stop you are ready to go and dominate all stop signs and stop lights with your Almighty stopping power lol

Front: Brembo slotted
Rear: EBC cross-drilled and slotted. These are the only after market discs I could find in the proper size to fit a Quattro 180.
Pads: PBR high performance ceramic
Low dust, no noise, no fade, feel great. I'm never concerned with stopping.
