I think you might have just lost a wink of credibility with that statement.

You aren't running exotic pad compounds that might benefit from drilling or slots. We are talking about a Yaris. On street or agressive street/track pads you want as much rotor and pad contact as possible. You will get 0 braking performance increases from drilled/slotted rotors on anything less than a full race pad, and you may not even see any difference in that application.
