I did the slotted rotor upgrade, didn't improve braking performance at all. They are essentially identical to OEM except you get the benefit of the slotting sweeping your pads clean so you don't get the grooving on the rotors.

If you are looking for a braking performance upgrade for the track and don't mind swapping out pads (pretty easy on the sport brakes) go with the Carbotech XP8's all around or even the XP10's up front if you have a heavy braking track. I wouldn't recommend them for the street because they aren't good in the cold and dusty and noisy.
