Not only are grooved or drilled rotors a marketing gimmick with no efficacy whatsoever, but they are pads killers too. In the spirit of bang for bucks, you're better off replacing standard rotors twice as often than throwing money at high end fancy rotors.
Just my $0.02.

I completely agree with the blank rotors. For me the important part is that they have a treatment to cope with the heat. Another GT86 driver here changed to a BBK and have a set of lightly used Tarox F2000 that I can get at good price. So I might opt for them even if they are grooved.
Where do you get the XP10 pads? I looked for them here and only found a dealer in the UK who didn't have them in stock.
