No need for drilled/slotted on anything under 500hp - waste of money, IMHO. The 5oz. in weight savings you'll never notice in a million years, and the performance advantages for something driven on the street are ZILCH. Plus, all those holes and channels serve to wear your pads out sooner than if you had just stuck with solid steel rotors.

I occasionally tow up to 10k lbs. with my Silverado, and I still went with OEM style EBC solid rotors for that reason. With the OEM rear shoes, this thing stops every bit as good as it did when it left the showroom - better under heavy braking.
