Default About to pull the trigger on brakes...
ECS drilled and slotted OE size rotors with PBR Ceramic pads. Yea or nay? Is there a better set up for $250?

Default just plain, unless you plan to track the car...they last longer and
you can always have them turned.. no an option w/slotted

Just get regular rotors.. Slots and holes just reduce the life of the rotor

Default What state are you in? If salt used in winter.....
then you should avoid year round use of slotted or drilled .They will rust sooner due to the salt in the holes and slots.Regular rotors and premium pads otherwise.

Default YES... slotted for street if you want the look of a non plain rotor.
