I used to run the stillen or stop tech cross drilled and slotted rotors and they last way longer than. the stock. I just replaced my brakes on my car yesterday at 34K. Seems a little early considering that I never drive in stop and go traffic.

It went very well and I learned a few things about myself thank you for asking.
Are you going with more aggressive pads too? I love the dimple/slotted look, my fav.

I just went with Hawk Ceramics this time. Hardly top of the line, but not the bottom either.
I have 39000 and my brakes were just hitting the squealers LOL.

Nice metallic powder coated esque brake caliper paint. Love the rotors, they look corrosion resistant.

from what I know,
don't slotted / drilled rotos DECREASE braking performance unless you increase the diameter size due to the decrease in overall surface area?
