because, unlike others, you don't need a crap ton of slots. You just need, apparently, four. Spoon does ALOT of R&D and they strive to have competition based products that exceed or meet OEM Honda standards. With that in mind I'd assume these are less prone to cracking then ones with more slots. This is just my theory...Why's that then bud? They are odd.......
If they warp, get better grooved discs. Has nothing to do with the slots but with the metal used imho. The fact that they chew up brake pads is the same reason they make sure your pads are always clean.Is there proof of this reliability?
My previous expereance of grooved discs they just make more noise and chew up brake pads and warp!
Never heard of this though....Grooved just crack as I've seen of a couple of cars
Well, (imho) if the grooves on your discs make the difference between a working brake system or too weak of a system, you need different brakes I think the difference between slotted or not ain't that big.My oem APEC blanks done 4 track days and miles upon miles of road miles and with only just one brake pad change! And I'm not the lightest of brake pushers! Lol

For this reason jt i am asking other peoples opinions to see if they or yourself have come across the same as me, after all what are forums like this for
The grooves or "slots" are there also to evacuate gases, pad dust, and heat created by the pad to rotor friction.drilled and grooved discs will always go through pads faster then standard plain discs. the idea is that the holes in the discs improve cooling keeping friction as temperature increases friction decreases, and the grooves increase friction. keeping the slots and holes symmetric is key to avoid cracking as all forces will be balanced. un-symmetric slot/holes/grooves lead to imbalances and derivatives in forces exerted on the disc
