drilled.. you got to really be carefull when braking it in.. it might crack...

dimpled is pretty much useles..

Soon when I get all new rotors for my BBK I'm either getting slotted or blanks. The whole cross drilled thing is only for looks if you don't do some serious track racing everyday. Plus they make for a louder stop that from what I've heard wears the pads down faster.
