Are drilled and slotted rotors worth the money ?

Put them on my 07 charger because i got a good deal on them. Otherwise, on a street car, you wont notice any difference. The advantage of them wont typically be seen under normal or even spirited driving.

Drilled rotors have been known to crack in frequently spirited trips.

I put them on all 4  wheels on the wife's PT Cruiser..thought it might help stop her from warping rotors...didn't help

so I say no, not worth the extra dough for them

I plan on buying them, but mainly for the zinc plating. I don't want to look at a rusty rotor when all of the other parts are painted.

Ive ran them on a few vehicles.  The rotors by themselves, you wont see much difference unless you're driving it HARD.  Now combine the rotors with better calibers, say 4 or 6 piston and the right pads, yeah you'll see a difference.  But drilled/slotted rotors with stock calibers not much if any.   One thing that you will see is them eat pads quicker in some applications.
