I dont think one is better than the other.
its preference, as far as looks goes.
do you want slotted?
drilled?
or slotted and drilled?
you can head to heeltoeauto.com or store.excelerateperformance.com to take a look at some of the offerings for the 4G TL.

tires play an important role in stopping.

i want slotted and drilled,i was looking into the heeltoeauto.com and xl8 do you know who have better quality

if its a brand name product(which they both sell brand names) you wont have any quality issues.

be wary of the ebay junk tho.


and its your preference on which vendor to go to.
I personally like Josh at XLR8, but Marcus at Heeltoe is great too!

I'd highly recommend our brake package.

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-466576.aspx

The packages include Powerslot/STOPTECH performance rotors and STOPTECH Performance pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes and an advanced alloy composition. The Powerslot slotted rotors for the front of most Acuras also have a Power Alloy composition and a curved vane construction, which helps reduce heat in the brake system. The STOPTECH Performance pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads.

i read some where that drilled rotors are bad under pressure, it can crack on you where slotted is much better.

just something for you to look into.

only the EBAY ones, where quality assurance isnt there.
the ones Josh and marcus sell, are great brands.

I look forward to the day I need new rotors so I can justify the switch to drilled / slotted. I had them on my old car and loved the way they looked!

The Racingbrake rotors we offer are really very awesome. They are made of a custom alloy that is heat treated to increase hardness meaning they most likely will be the last rotors you ever buy. They also have castings that reinforce the hubs meaning they are guaranteed not to warp. We've never had one case of warped RB rotors in the 6+ years of offering them here.

This is only if you are getting cheap rotors. Holes in better quality rotors are not much of an issue. The truth is, the material is what cracks. The hole just provides a good starting point for a crack.

They do look awesome for sure. Just make sure you are getting a good pad to go with them to actually derive some stopping benefit from them.

I might get these when I need to change rotors. RB only makes the front rotors?

At this time, yes.

I honestly wouldn't buy drilled and slotted rotors unless you are going for looks, or you are racing, or you have a lot of money to buy another set sooner down the road. OEM style will last longer. I just bought Wearever rotors and Wagner pads and they work fine.

If just for the looks, make sure both the front and the rear are upgraded with identical drilled and/or slotted rotors.

It sure looks odd with drilled and/or slotted rotors at the front, but just blank rotors at the rear of the car.
