I've installed SP slotted. They were about as much as Brembo blanks. However...
as I continuously inspected them, I realized that I was experiencing vibrations under heavier breaking as the pads swept over the slots. Would I recommend them? If they're cheap or you like the look.
Honestly I don't think the look is perceptible for one, and the added vibrations are a nuisance. Get a set of blanks. Performance rotor upgrades are a waste in my opinion; save up for a big brake upgrade.

i get them from autopartswarehouse or tirerack.
they are everywhere.
for stock size rotors they are cheap and does the job. If you want better braking, get the A8 kit or BBK.

I've got the A8 kit. Time for new rotors, though. Wore through the Zimmerman slots during my last
track day. They lasted 2 years and a half-dozen track days, and got rusty as hell.
