New drilled slotted rotors 4 my MS6!

Slots, holes or any other void in the surface of the rotor are NOT there for purposes of dissipating heat. Old-school race pads used to let off gas as they heated up which could form a bubble between the pad and rotor that contributed to fade. The holes/slots help remove this gas. But with modern street pads, even performance pads, the gas is pretty much a non-issue.

The nice thing about most drilled/slotted rotors is they have a coating on them so the hats and vents don't rust. I personally had ATE PremiumOne rotors on my Miata.

I had wheels that showed my brakes right through them so in addition to Hawk HP+ pads (noisy, dusty bastards they were), Goodridge stainless lines and synthetic fluid, I went for the rotors purely for looks. The pads and my sticky Hankook Z212 tires were what stopped the car, not the pretty rotors.

I found the Hawk pads to be noisier than stock, but better stopping power and less dust.

I won't ever use any KVR products again. Their rotors didn't last, and their pads were awful. Dustiest pad I've ever used, and they wore out extremely quick, even under very mild driving.
