Default Q's on PowerSlot slotted/dimpled rotors

Ok so the Power Slot slotted rotors arent in stock anywhere. but the summit racing guy said that he can get me these Power Slotted/dimpled rotors for like $2 more right. I remember when they came out but thought they looked kinda ricey. Have any of yall used the slotted/dimpled ones? I'd kinda like to get back into autocrossin and what not but ill mostely be doin daily driven and the PowerSlot website it self says that for extreme or aggressive driven go with the regular Slotted ones.........DISCUSS

Just save the cash and go with plain faced rotors. For daily driving and autocross you don't really need slotted rotors. Slotted are really only needed if you're going to be hitting the track hard to keep the pads from glazing.

^^^I agree. Can't go wrong with brembo blanks & Hawk HP+s w/maybe some steel lines and a quality brake fluid.that should be plenty of brake for the street/auto-x.

Yep. Unless you are going to be hitting the road course frequently there is not point other than for aesthetic reasons.

I put slotted rotors on my car because they do look cool and I got a hell of a deal on them, but they really don't do anything my stock ones didn't before.

Well, they don't do anything besides give you shorter pad life
