I thought about pad contact surface when I chose that drill/slot configuration, not too much void as some severe drill/slot patterns (7 rows of holes/slots), I avoided the overdrilled/slotted rotors.

Was sold on Cool Carbon on my Perf Pkg E46 330i 6spd, could not overdrive them even hot lapping Sebring, could consistently outbrake all the non ///M E46. Will post results/pics post install/break in.
