I have the Toyota 4x4 Calipers non-vented. Going to use the calipers that came with them, and when they are worn I am going to upgrade to some really nice ones.

Though, to the rotors.

Powerslot Slotted rotors for $174

or

OEM for some $70

Looks are not an issue, cant see them with my 19 spokes. I live in windy areas, and might do tracks every now and then if I get in a club but it is going to be a daily driver, so mostly school and work.

OK and then?

Do you mean you are going to use the callipers or the PADS?

I wouldn't bother getting the you beaut slotted rotors if $$ is an issue.

Spend the $$ you have saved on some good quality pads and the standard rotors should be fine:)

Meant that I am going to keep the pads until they are worn until I get some high quality ones.

Money isn't really an issue, but is an extra $100 worth the slotted rotors? If it isn't going to benefit me, I can use that $100 elsewhere.

You will not see a $100 worth of improvement over plain rotors with the slotted.

Pad will affect your braking performance (especially repeated stops from high speed) at least as much as the calipers and rotors. With cheaper pads, as the temperature rises the coefficient of friction begins to decrease sooner. This causes brake fade. A more performance oriented pad will maintain its coefficient of friction as temps increase, at least up to a point.

If improved braking from high speed (especially repeated) is important, then spend your money on better pads first.

FYI, if you get serious about track time, I think you'll find that you need vented rotors up front.

This man is correct. Spend the money on the pads not the plain rotors...or spend the money to get the vented disks up front
