Instead of just putting those "one-up" smilies, can someone list the benifits of a slotted and x-drilled rotor over the stock one? And which is better, the "copper" looking one, or the "stainless steel" one? I was talking to some org members and they told me that cross drilled/slotted (brembo) rotors worsen braking performance becuase theres less surface area. The only benifits they have is they are a lot less prone to warping. But why the hell would someone pay all that money for something that is less prone to warping, yet decreases breaking performance?

Better pads will yield you better brakes. The pad is what generates the friction which makes you stop.
If you don't want to spend a lot of $$$ upgrading your brakes, just get some nice pads on your car. Drilled or slotted rotors look nice and perform quite well. But the real stopping power comes from the pads.

Pads first, rotors second (because they are genereally half dead in the first place), brake fluid fourth, calipers third, SS lines fourth.
Pads generate heat.
Rotors absorb heat.
Brake fluid is tollerant to heat.
Calipers generate more heat.
SS lines don't get affected by heat.

B/C of the higher specific heat of stainless steel vs. the rubber.
