Back to the original question, did you mean grooved or drilled?  Slotted and grooved usually mean the same thing.

Grooves are OK, but can rumble through the pedal quite a lot if you've got a soft pad.

Drilled holes are pretty pointless tbh.

For a road car, a plain disc is probably the best all rounder.

If plain discs are available in your size with the correct PCD and offset, I'd always opt for a plain surface, or grooves if doing track days.

They look in the 340mm size range, are they proper Brembo 2 piece discs, or solid steel jobs?   I've not see a Brembo senior kit.

Good call. The bolt gives it away. Had these on a mk4.

OK cool.  Not sure where I got Brembo Senior from.  Must have been having a wet dream about brakes again.  Did I just say that out loud?

They're pretty damn similar. In fact, I think the LCR caliper is known as the 'Junior'.

As for brake porn...

Blimey!  They certainly look like 300kph+ brakes don't they!!  :surprised:

I found this video really interesting actually.  Stoptech factory tour.  They are an American AP Racing / Alcon equivalent.  Top stuff!
