Drilled and slotted are a bad idea, bro. Both aesthetically and practically. You're better with some flat Baer rotors.

Yes, drilled/slotted is for curb appeal. You actually lose brake performance by using the "fancy rotors"

Slots and holes remove mass and surface area. Think about it.

The only positive is you get a more aggressive bite on the pads. Not worth it when you consider the potential for cracking, warping, and uneven pad wear.

Edit: Get brembo blanks, they're like $70 for a front pair.

I'd return the rotors to be honest. Brembo blanks are cheap.
