But I haven't done any scientific study, that's already been done and I have no equipment to do it.
As others are saying, and I think corresponds to your results, your slotted/drilled rotors and whatever pads you're using may certainly be better than your stock setup was. I'm only suggesting that I really doubt it's due to the slots and holes - it's the pads and rotor quality.

Ok, now I'm going to send back my drilled & slotted
for some blanks.........NOT !
Well they work for me (drilled & slotted) I thank you all
for your schooling & I'm sure Matt dose to. Now Matt
go get some Drilled rotors
You all have a good one !
