I guess I'm the only one who stands by slotted rotors. Drilled for a street car are not worth it. I like the benefits the slotted rotors give, and will be what I buy for the rest of my vehicles. They aid in cooling and also keep the pads from glazing as well.....
As someone else pointed out, drilled/slotted rotors can be turned. However the feed rate is much slower. That being said, at Brembo we don't recomend turning any rotr, as it is only a band-aid solution to the problem.
As for slotted, count me in as a fan as well. Your right about the pad glazing issue, but there is no real cooling effect. The slots do "wipe the fire band" allowing for a cleaner pad surface, especially in dirty conditions. This is why slotted is favored alot in Rally racing.
