SS Brake Line + Brake Pad + Rotor Installed~

[dallas]

I have to agree with Loren on this one, if you slot and cross drill a basically stock rotor you reduce the mass of the rotor, which in-turn gives you less of a heat sink.
There is no off gassing of new compound pads, the slots may help with brake dust evacuation, but thats about it. When you see a slotted and drilled pad on an exotic sports car, they have made sure to also have enough rotor mass to allow a big enough heat sink for the type of driving being encountered. I would focus on new brake fluid, A Racing specific or Dot 5.1 for street applications and get good pads and stainless lines.
Cheers.

Here's what James Walker (I'm pretty sure he knows more about brakes than any of the rest of us do) has to say about brake rotors:
