    The slotted rotors are for cooling purposes. The cooler the metal the better stopping power your going to have. I would work on getting disc brakes in the rear. If you can get a Versailles 9'' rear end your cookin'. I have a guys who will sell the complete rear end I think for $450 over here in Houston. That's a steel. Let me know if you want that contact.
    P.S. You can get aftermarket slotted discs for our mav.
