Cross Drilled and Slotted Brembo Rotors

is it true that slotted rotors will eat up pads very fast? and they are only good for racing?

they will go through pads a bit faster, but you`ll get much better braking because the rotor always meets fresh even pad

its better for racing, if you want show, then go for x drilled rotors

From what I have heard - STAY AWAY FROM X-DRILLED! Unless they are VERY expensive and done well, they can crack.

Brembo doesn't even warrant their X-drilled rotors for cracking!!! - but the same-priced ones that are slotted are warranted (is that a word?)

I will stick with slotted and ceramic pads.
