    Well, IMO cross drilled is only needed if you are doing a lot of high speed endurance type racing where it is crucial to keep the components cool.

    If you buy cheap cross drilled crap then sometimes they are prone to cracking, not as much in the olden days but it still a possibility.

    Both slotting and dimples help a little with keeping the brakes cool and dry but yeah its mostly for cosmetic purposes.

    Slots are all you need.

    Even then, you may not.

    Depends on your driving habits and wheels.

    Sure looks pretty though
