Default need to buy new front brake disc's.. gota question

im in the sponsor marketplace and i see brembo blanks, brembo cross drilled or slotted, brembo cross drilled and slotted (done by other compnay), and power slot slotted or drilled brake rotors..

now what performance (as far as braking goes) would i gain out of a cross drilled, slotted, or both rotor over the brembo blanks. is it worth the extra money to get one of the 3 different types of rotors or just get the blanks?

i heard that drilled rotors crack over time due to heat and stress, would i get the same results from rotors drilled directly from brembo and powerslot? also would i get the
same result from the brembo blanks drilled and slotted by 88brakes (or something like that in the marketplace section)?

on the street? none. most pads nowadays don't give off enough gasses to necessitate drilling or slotting. more surface area = more braking. if your car were a track *****, i might say otherwise, but i would go with the blanks. and while youre at it, check this out...

Unless your are tracking your car alot, just get the blanks. They are cheaper and will work just fine.
