idK? i wouldn't go drilled AND slotted. especially with ebay discs. I've heard of them cracking.

If you must get slotted or drilled rotors power slot makes slotted rotors for the ST Celicas here's a link for an example as you can see it's almost $90 each and much safer then the ebay ones.

Drilled rotors are to get gasses produced under hard braking away from the pad-rotor contact surface. Modern materials don't offgas. As a result, holes in your rotor are decorative at best. Drilled holes (as opposed to Porsche's rotors where the metal is cast with the holes already there) promote fracturing.

Slotted rotors are meant to clean glazing off of brake pads, due to the pad effectively melting at high heat. Modern, use-appropriate pads do not glaze (well, you might manage to glaze a street pad while you're running in auto-cross, but that's a demonstration of stupidity rather than product failure). Slotting also reduces the rotor's structural strength, though not nearly to the same extent as drilling holes.

It should also be noted that as a general rule the increase in surface area (dissipation) is outweighed by the loss of mass (absorption).
