Just for you Russ:
Each to their own.
The cross drilled & slotted rotors I have are now on their 2nd set of pads, they survived Collie...Where I got them hot enough to burn the paint off the hubs (using 'real' EBC greens).
I'm also very particular about not staying on the brakes when they're hot hot & the car is stationery....Especially on spirited drives.
Trying the Qfm pads now, rotors still didn't need machining when they were fitted.
My Cross drilled rotors will crack eventually, they all do, but they are still a great disk for the coin.
Slotted are better than solid face due to the slot wiping the face of the pad, the gas release issue with them is now kind of a mute though, as all good pads have central vent 'Slot' in the friction material which achieves the same result as far as the slots allowing the pads to 'out gas'.
