Evan,
Bob C makes a good point Things that work well on race cars do not necessarily translate to better for the street.
Even if you are a spirited driver, you probably will not gain much if anything by switching over to high performance brake pads and rotors. Race cars are nearly rebuilt between races and stopping power is much more important that replacing the brake pads after every race or two. Your brakes are not likely to get hot enough during normal street driving to require slotted and drilled rotors and they increase the wear factor.
If you are worried about warped rotors, it has nothing to do with the rotors actually getting warped. Standard road cars use brakes that function mostly by abrasion, or the breaking down of the bonds between the pad material molecules by the friction generated by pushing the pads against the rotors. Under normal city conditions, the worn-away pad material is simply carried away as brake dust (the black dust commonly seen on wheels). However, under heavier braking, such as an emergency stop or slowing down from a highway exit, the brakes become much hotter, and that material can actually 'cook' to the brake rotors
If you do some hard high speed braking, like exiting a freeway and then you come to a stop and hold your foot heavy on the brake pedal, the hot rotors can cause some of the brake material bonding material to stick on the rotors. This creates a thick spot on the rotor where the pads contacted the rotor while the vehicle was stopped. That slightly thick spot is what causes the pads to pulse and the front end to shutter.
The edges of slotted rotors are designed to help scrape away the soft, hot friction material to avoid it from being deposited on the rotors. That also needlessly increases the friction material wear. That does not help you in stop and go driving or if you get your brakes hot and then stop at a traffic light. The rotors are not turning but the hot friction material is being deposited in one spot on the rotor and that's what creates the so-called Warped rotor.
