drilled & slotted rotors; do they wear down pads too fast?
can't decide between just drilled or drilled&slotted rotors. I'm going to use mintex red box pads with oem calipers. my car is a daily driver; no track use.

Tell that to Porsche
well, technically these aren't drilled, the holes are cast in from the factory..
But with a soft pad, the drilled rotors EAT pads, BTDT. I accidentally had stock porsche pads on at a track event, went through a FULL set of pads in one 30 minute session

I have slotted on the A6 and S4 and both are approaching 30k miles, pad wear is good
If you get a harder pad it should work out, but the flip side is the rotor will be eaten faster.
