Default Opinions on Brembo rotors, slotted & X drilled? Discuss, TIA

What is fair for a front and rear job, rotor swap only, indipendant shop?

Default Wow, I'm not sure if you saw my earlier threads but ...

I am looking into the very same thing. I also have a 1998 A6 and my rotors are bad according to the dealer and not great by my judgement, but I do not want to put the same rotors back on simply because they turn my already difficult to get off rims into quite the unenjoyable task. They simply bond together way to easily. I blame the rusty, rusty rotors. They have the bermbros at TireRack.com, both cross drilled and slotted
Here are the slotted from Brembro:

And here are the EBC brakes offered by tire rack as an interesting alternative. Anyone with these?

Once again, the Zimmermans from EBT (not EBC) appear, according to others, to be quite the hit on this board.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/240275.phtml">Muhammad's post</a></li></ul>

Does the slot direction matter? They go one way on the Brembo and t'other on the EBC...

Default I always thought that they had to spiral out to expel heat/gases.

Maybe they just show right side Brembos and left side EBCs.

Hey, I could be wrong. I've heard that slots and holes don't do d*ck anyway.
