They are pretty good, but you may have to add on a flintstone stopper. I'd go with honeycomb. They work better in the corners.

the slotted brake lines allow the lines to breathe better, resulting in better braking response

Seriously, they are only offered on the track and GT models. The usually increase braking by 60% without skidding.

Actually, the cross-drilled brake lines are better than slotted.

It is a more manual type of stopping option. I'll attach a pic. you can see it on the bottom of the car.
