I need brakes looking for drilled/slottd rotors I need Advise
I am looking for drilled and slotted rotors with pads for my 00Formula WS6, I do alot of track running so high speed ability is a must

If you do a lot of "track running" then you want strong blank rotors, not crack-prone drilled rotors.

Even the brake manufactures themselves say on their own site that their drilled rotors are not intended for track use.

either or.
Using the theory of cross drilling ("better cooling") it makes it even less of a reason to use for drag racing. You only stop once, then wait a while before running again. In that time the rotors are going to be cooled off anyway.

Hawk HPS + brembo blanks are a proven combination.

Since you said you want better stopping ability from higher speeds, then you should get a set of quality blank rotors.
But anyway, what kind of race do you mean exactly by "track running"? The brake parts that people will recommend to you could be quite a huge different depending on what kind of track racing you are doing. Autox? Road racing? 1/4 mile? That makes a huge difference

Check out the following combinations (saves you a few bucks vs. parts alone, and these are high quality parts).
ATE PremiumOne slotted rotors + HPS pads: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=17&ModelID=7
Brembo Blank rotors + HPS pads: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=17&ModelID=7
The ATE's are slotted, but not super deeply so the rotor face is not compromised. In fact the slots are only as deep as the wear surface. When the rotor needs replaced (minimum service thickness), the slots disappear. Also these rotors are coated to prevent rust on the hat and edges. And the slots have no end points (they are elliptical) so there are no stress risers which can start cracks.
The Brembo's are no coated and are blanks. Cost a little less, but these days with the coating added we tend to see the ATE's as the better value.
We have other lines as well. PowerSlot, PowerStop, SP Performance rotors all of which have drilled or slotted rotors. Hell, I can do Brembo's slotted. But the best rotors I've used for coating, cost and durability in a slotted are the ATE's. Which is why I'm comfortable recommending them.
