Well, on the subject of drilled rotors, then you have to worry about hear cracks, and possible catastrophic failure once you hit a certain point. But again, it depends on what you need them to do.

I just got a pair of RB slotted rotors with the black ecoating. Dont know if they are much diff than others but they are damn nice. That coating is on center drum as well as coating the inside/edges where the fins are (where the OEMs rust like hell). Priced the same as Powerslit and RB has good rep. Hit up Rishie for a deal, i did.

i used them for daily driving and went on a 2 day track event. they warped and had hot spots all over it i could barely stop. on the street they're fine, but definatley not for the track. i switched over to rotora cross drilled/slotted and haven't had a problem since. i've got about 30k on them and have gone through two sets of pads and the rotors are still good.

If you had pad buildup on those rotors after a track weekend that most likely means that your pad choice was bad, or that you really need to look into doing brake ducting. Especially with your other symptom of being not able to stop, that reads that you had pad problems, not rotor problems.

Not to disagree with you, but I would tend to think at that point then that the pads were not bedded in properly. There is no reason that you would have that issue unless the previous rotors were cheap China junk, or the pads were just not setup properly. One other thing to take into account is that Axxis Ultimates do not have the greatest open tracking reputation.

had powerslots on my old mr2t and was not pleased. i noticed my brake pedal would pulse under pressure. a few months after being fed up, i threw on new napa rotors and inspected the powerslots. i didn't see warpage, so i pulled out the calipers. sure enough on one a couple of rotors, one side of a rotor was slightly thicker than the other side. i'll never go back to powerslot or even consider power stop.
