if you don't race it, oem is fine if you want some added braking ability under performance driving, get slotted, all the slots, holes do are vent gases so they don't build up under the pad and lift it from the rotor surface under extreme braking conditions

i have slotted rotors on mine, stock size and i agree, in serious braking situations they do help, not a whole lot cuz fox brakes are crummy to begin with, but they are a nice upgrade both performance wise and visually.

i have powerslots, idk how much they run cuz i found them for free in my trunk when i bought the car 3 years ago
