I've been running hawk hps+ pads with dimpled slotted rotors for a few years now. Chrome 18's and the dust isn't too bad. I do clean the car after almost every drive though.
My buddy made the mistake of buying those. Stopping power was worse than stock, and it only took 2 months before they squealed like hell. I pulled em off on put on some quality oem rotors and hawks pads he bought and it was much much better, and safer. Never cheap out on brakes.
Dimpled rotors are fine, just be careful with full blown drilled rotors, if you abuse them too much (ie tracking the car or lots of heavy spirited driving) they will begin to crack over time and (obviously) become useless
The cheap ones on eBay come with lifetime warranty against cracking. Now that's a good warranty. Just send them rotor and they send new one. No cash back but hey they covering your ass
Yeah I have drilled an slotted rotors and I don't see much of a difference but I'm not riding the brakes hard a lot, unless I'm just wanting the let te horses run, just normal wear
Just installed my cheap eBay brakes, way better than stock. Ill take my chanced. If u want to buy me some expensive ones ill take em lol. Just because something don't cost an arm and leg, don't mean its junk. I wish we all had your kind of money.
My buddy runs Autocross at summit with them cheap eBay brakes going on 2 years, no problems. Go from experience, not what u read.

Hey brother I'm not jabbing at you so no reason to be passive aggressive. Trust me I don't have all kinds of money, I'm just wise with the money I do have.
But I guess the fact that the rotors do crack quite often means little to nothing to you. I'm not saying they're all bad just because they're eBay rotors, but they definitely aren't great. And I'm glad your buddies are doing well. But drilled rotors are farrrrrr more probe to cracking that dimples rotors. Plain and simple.
I just try to spread knowledge to those that ask and those that don't know. So no need to get all huffy and puffy
I've got a set of Drilled and Slotted rotors from Mustangs Unlimited about a year ago. I do some AutoX and Drag Racing, and I tend to drive her really hard too. Lol But I've had no problems with any types of cracks or warping of any kind. My car is also a DD year round here in Michigan.
My buddy cracked the ones on his Shelby but that's cause he does open track racing (usually hits 150mph on the straights). It takes more heat than Auto X or street driving can generate to crack them.
I'm running Baer Decelarotors and Decelapads and I love them. I don't track it a lot maybe 3-4 times a year but I have never experienced brake fade with them and no cracking because they dimple the drill holes. I also back road aggressively a lot lol
