3) MAIN gain for drilled/slotted is most beneficial for prehistoric materials brake pads that dissipated lot of gas under heat. Not an issue with most modern pads.
As i pay myself all car bills, imho paying for something that costs more and lasts less is unwise. Looks change alone is not sufficient (for me). For everybody it's own car and own money so everybody can do according own subjective preferences, i just can advise against. If you enjoy yours, good, that's only thing that matters.

Totally agree but for my MDX, buying the parts separate was more money and the calipers would not be painted. So I have slotted drilled rotors on an SUV for no reason except it was cheaper. When the rotors go centric blanks go on. Have to admit the rotors with the kit are nice, though completely unnecessary.
