Slotted rotors have function, they aid in keeping brake dust from accumulating on the pads and give the pads more bite. Are stock pads really that good? Depending on the application I would think there would have to be pads more oriented towards performance than stock because stock is always a compromise between performance and things like noise, high dust, or other mannerisms that would make them less ideal for daily driving.
