slotted/drilled brake rotors
Anybody have slotted/drilled brake rotors, and do they really make all that diff?

Pad material is most likely where you are getting better stopping, not the rotors. In fact the slots or holes in the rotors will decrease slightly the amount of friction area contact.
Factory pad material is often not as good as some aftermarket pads..
You can often get three different hardness ratings on pads.. Most stores offer economy, standard and "premium" with ceramics typically being sold as premium..
Each type has pros and cons..
Could very well be. I do know that the SHO in 2010-2012 doesn't have the best brakes, prone to fade and while they stop in good time, they don't like back to back stops. With this new combination it stops more confidently. But it may very well do the same with OEM rotors and better pads. But I think that the more venting area of the new rotors keeps them from fading.
