OEM or aftermarket rotors?

I need new front rotors guys and would really like to not fit the OEM cross drilled ones because in low speed Singapore driving they just end up like noisey cheese graters.

Anyone here fitted slotted ones for daily use with success?

Almost everything I see people switch them out of other Porsche models. The only reason to ever change from something stock on a car like this is to get something better. And any performance brake setup will end up being noisy when they are cold and dirty.

For mostly driving around town I have never had much in the way of noise with stock rotors and pads. However, I've had noise issues with stock rotors and performance pads. Is there any chance you are running anything other than stock pads? Are the backing plates still on your current pads?

The only slotted rotors I have looked at of late are the Girodisc.
