don't ever let your pads wear out all the way... rotors should last about 3+ set of pads... if the rotor was still good, all you would need to do is get them turned...

umm lets see bermbo among other companys that use to use drilled rotors to race, wich they dont any more. if u look at race cars u dont see drilled rotors anymore, reason being is that, they would crack when the would get to hot and overtime to much stress on the holes. thats why drilled rotors sucks ***, chad and its not cuzz u get cheap ones its any rotor that is drilled. and if u did alot more raceing and canyon carveing you would know what im talking about im also talking from experience ive used drilled rotors on my last 3 cars and after raceing, auto-x and canyon carveing they have all cracked ive used brembo, bear, and powerslot to name a few and all my friends have had the same experience.

Performance wise:

#1 BIGGER blank rotors
#2 BIGGER Slotted rotors
#3 Only slotted rotors

Drilled does look cool though

slotted is the way to go... the holes make the rotor less sturdy
