Re: brakes
Fading isn't going to happen on a track unless your doing back and forth runs several times. Most people have at LEAST 10 - 15 minutes between runs and that's if there's almost nobody else at the track, which is plenty of time for your brakes to cool and remove any chance of fading. A long rally of hard braking and acceleration is where fading becomes a problem.

Wow... people on here go a lot on "well, my boyz at the track say this" or "some peddlar pushing some wares said the other guys' are just for show." I don't discount the obvious advantage of "higher quality materials" all the way around, but to say "slotted rotors are just for show" is retarded. Notice my focus was on SLOTTED rotors, not cross-drilled as cross-drilled doesn't have the longevity of a blank or slotted rotor. Just because your boyz don't use something "and they race on the track yo so they know everytin" doesn't invalidate the fact that quality slotted rotors work better than a blank and will last just as long for a DD. You can argue against commonsense, engineering, and facts until your blue in the face... whatever floats your boat.
Because why? They drive like grannies or something? Fading isn't going to happen on a track unless your doing back and forth runs several times. Most people have at LEAST 10 - 15 minutes between runs and that's if there's almost nobody else at the track, which is plenty of time for your brakes to cool and remove any chance of fading.

Re: brakes
They might crack while beating on them real hard and wear your pads a little faster. Not really a big disadvantage, its just that you spent more money for looks.

Re: brakes
This is for the MG. The old rotors were way too worn out to reuse. There was a set of cross drilled rotors from my dads car sitting in the garage so I figured I'd use those.
