Aren't you referring to the bottom ten list different?
The list where simply because there are coil overs instead of the factory springs, and 13" rotors instead of the 10" weenies that came on there stock, I am somehow a failure on?
You mean that kind of different?

Now Wait a damn minute,...all you see is a brake rotor,...how can you make a judgement on a whole car just by looking at one rotor?
Hold on,..................................................Do You drive a Cobra?

Lube your sliders and the problem is solved. You should really learn a thing or two about cars, Mike.
Man I love cobra brakes. Those are some funky looking rotor slots. Funky slots for a funky guy I guess!

I got a slider you can lube..........
Who, and How?
Right now I'm trying to figure out what those slots will do for me.
Other than hold rust in the bottom.......

It may have to do with your improper pad break in procedure.
1: 6 to 10 moderate stops from 35 MPH down to 5 MPH, don't stop the car. Do them in quick succession. DO NOT LOCK UP THE BRAKES!
2: 2 to 3 hard stops from 45 MPH down to 5 MPH, again, don't stop the car and do them in quick succession. DO NOT LOCK UP THE BRAKES!
3: Park the car and let the brakes cool off for at least an hour. When you park the car do not keep your foot on the brake pedal any longer than required to park the car.
This will not work on old surfaced pads and rotors. The pads must be unglazed (new) and the rotors must be new or a fresh resurface.
For brakes to work optimally you need to initially transfer a slight amount of pad material to the rotor in a specific fashion.

I get to looking at the box the rotors come in, and to my disgust I discover that even the 110.00 ea. Raybestos rotor have "Made in China" stamped on them.But they were "finished" in the U.S.A.
Whadya gonna do? I put them on.
Knowing this makes me feel a little better about putting Stop Tech rotors and pads on my Stang.
I know, But I'll have some pretty orange squgglies behind my shiny new wheels now though
I'll try your bedding procedure on the new rotors/pads,..thanks.

I've noticed on a lot of cop chase videos that the guys being chased always seem to have one of two things happen to their car (unless the PITT is used). They either overheat and blow up or their brakes appear to fail.
You just never know when you might need those slots....
