You're right, slotted or drilled rotors will dispense heat a lot better and allow gases to escape. However, even if the brakes heat up in stop and go traffic, they will not heat up to the point of having brake fade. You really won't see the true performance of the rotors unless you do some heavy driving. Another thing with performance is that slotted or drilled rotors have less surface area than blank rotors. So if you're going to be using stock size rotors, you're taking away the surface area thus not providing much gain.

Ken, I know you don't want cheap crap, but getting a fairly cheap set of blank rotors and good pads will be much better than going with something ebay has. If the holes on the drilled rotors were not made during casting, the rotors can crack. A good set of drilled rotors would run about $100 a piece. So when you compare it to the Ebay price, theres something fishy about it.
