Are you tracking the car? If so go with slotted because their have been instances of drilled rotors cracking under extreme heat and duress. If you aren't tracking the car then it really doesn't matter.

Went with MX72, been using Mx72 since my oem brembo...I couldn't be happier.. it stops more than enough for street already (have to admit endless is more for the show factor), my track s2k is using CC-R and CC-Rg ..however I've found CC-R is more consistant..Endless pads FTW~

Updated with brakes installed. Only a year or so late.
Rears are factory Brembos powdercoated to match fronts.

the direction the slots face are inconsequential - the only thing that matters is making sure the center veins face the correct direction. On some kits, this will have the slots facing one way, and a different way on another kit
