So i did some searching on the forums and came across a little info on slotted vs cross drilled and slotted rotors, now before i have this thread in a war going back in fourth between the two, now i know that many say to get a slotted rotor with some nice pads, and some say they have drilled and slotted, me asking around it looks liked drilled and slotted are more for looks although the holes are great for wet weather and the slots emit gases, but i hear that these are more prone to cracking and they are the least reliable. Im looking into getting slotted rotora rotors with some ebc pads, between the red pads or the ultimax pads, let me know what your experiences have been with the two, i know i will save money if i get some brembo blanks and get some nice pads.

I currently have Brembo blanks and EBC Ultimax and I'm quite satisfied with them. I was also looking to get the red stuff pads but I was afraid that they might eat up my rotors. Does anyone have any idea whether this is a legitimate concern? The other reason I didn't get the red stuff was that they allegedly have a shorter life than the yellow stuff. Anyone actually running yellow stuff pads that can comment on their performance?

I would definitely go with the red stuff pads if your looking for added performance, but the new rotors much as you might want them (I do too), might only cause problems if they go to crap after 5k miles like others have said. I personally would go with a Brembo blank and EBC red stuff setup, but as asked earlier... would those pads eat up the rotor? Would the yellow stuff be a better choice?
