Done a lot of investigation to buy the same, but not running them yet. Look at www.apracing.com, www.2bennett.com, www.bira.org, www.movit.de. Also Alcon do a set up. Have tried the caliper/rotor template for the APracing set up (for both 17 & !8" wheels) and they do not fit into the Sport wheel (UK Spec) so be careful about clearances.

I believe www.2bennett.com will machine slots in the OE rotors, but I would expect little if any performance improvement.

What's your objective here? If you have a problem with glazed pads (which slotted rotors can help), different pads would probably be a more cost effective solution.
