How bad are the slotted rotors for everyday use??

Both Cross Drilled and Slotted will eat pads… combine and worse…

Pads should last you a while (over 25000kms) depending on how you use your brake (i’m a heavy brake foot so more)

Depends on what you do with it… or planning to do with it

well i have slotted rotors in the back with hawk pads,

now the front ones are going …so just want 26mm rotors and 4  
pot callipers, (would the normal brake cylineder work?)

so if i go regular stuff, i just don’t want to warp them.

I m mostly normal driver, sometimes crazy…

Plans are obviously sr20det normal setup nuthing  
over the top, around 300hp range.

it is after all my daily driver !
