Slotted - Maintains the rotors strength. Performance oriented. Used by the majority of guys who Auto Cross their cars.

X-Drilled - Helps keep the rotor cool, less chance of warpage when used in street applications. Great upgrade from stock. Less fade when braking at high speed.

Slotted + X-Drilling - Over kill. Mostly for looks only. The slots help with performance, the x-drilling does the same. Doing both to the rotor means you take off a lot of metal thus weakening the rotor slightly.

Indy cars - Solid or slotted
Auto Cross - Slotted (Cross drilled rotors crack in this application)
Street performance - What does Porsch use? X-Drilled!

What do you want to do with your car?

I'm running the Stillen X-Drilled on my 99 SE-L. There awsome. Very smooth & they stop quicker then stock.

X Drilled!!! I can't wait to get mine. How much do they run... also do I need to change my brake pads to the Stillen ones? That's what they recommend, but I think that it's a ploy to buy their pads. ????
Thanks in advance

It's a ploy. You can use other pads. Do not use organic, unless you like replacing them every month. I ran Midas pads, they lasted longer then anything else I tried, including Stillens. Stillens rotors were the best that I've tried. Power Stop rotors were ok, but no where near stillens quality. Stillen does NOT rule though....ok....

Drilled ones work great, that's what I have on mine and what I had on my old max, they never "melted down". The originals "melted down" frequently on my 91max. They help with the performance too, not like a big brake upgrade does, but great bang for the buck.
