How do the slotted rotors hold up? Do they wear the pads any faster?

They're easy enough to do that you wouldn't be spending any money, you'd just be using up your time.

Am i going to get any strange sounds? Will these eat up my pads any faster? I have never used slotted rotors and never knew anyone who had them.
Thanks

The wiping action of slotted rotors means replacement of the pads will be more frequent, but driving habits are a bigger factor in how long pads last.
