Most auto X'rs and others use the standard NAPA roter, they work great, stop great and they are in expensive if you warp or destroy them

The X drilling, etc has largely been dismissed as legend for all but serious track cars. Brake pads don't outgas as they used to

NAPA rotors at $27 a piece are hard to beat in price for track days. Others use Rock Auto at about the same price....
Slotted and Drilled are more about bling value than stopping power...
