I've heard of the drilled and slotting cracking at the outer holes of the rotor...but i've never seen it. I have just the drilled on the es-tsi and they seem to work fine. Get a nice set of pads too.

Rotors don't do much for braking power unless you upgrade to larger size rotors. Pads can make a huge difference in stopping power. I went with plain stock rotors and Porterfield RS-4 pads, and I'm very happy with the stopping power.

I wouldn't worry about the rotors unless you need new ones. If you need new ones, go with slotted. If not, go with better brake pads. Going with a big brake setup would obviously be optimal if you can afford it.
