planning to upgrade my brake rotor to slotted + drilled.
mainly city drive, normally drive fast but not aggressive, soft on pedals and brakes.

been through online researched and here's what i know about slotted+drilled rotors:
1) brake pads wear faster. (but how fast? my cousin motorcycle 200cc is slotted rotor, 40k city driving brake pad still have around 30%)
2) drilled rotor will crack eventually if rotor too hot but doesn't affect much for city driving. (not really a concern for me, rarely hard braking)
3) braking is much more quiet. (is this true?)

appreciate all for the time and effort on replies !

What brake pads are you using now? Choosing the right pads can improve your braking without affecting cold/initial bite of the braking system. Not necessary to get higher temp or sports/race pads as some have below par cold bite.
