Default ROTORS: Slotted or Drilled

Im getting new perfromance rotors for my CRX Si I was wondering which ones would be better. Cross drilled, slotted, or crossdrilled and slotted? The price variance is like 15 bucks (drilled being the cheapest at 125 a pair, and both being most expensive at 140 a pair) Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

It depends on how they do the drilling. I've heard peopls drilled rotors breaking because of the holes. Assuming they're from a reputable company I'm sure they're fine.

Honestly, brake pads make more difference than rotors do.

you'll find that most of the hardcore road racers on this board will tell you to avoid cross-drilled

I say slotted, or if you want the cross-drilled effect also, get the slotted and dimpled. Holes drilled fully through will crack with heat and wear.
