If you don't mind spending the money, buy Baer DecelaRotors. Can get them at Pro Street:

A lot of aftermarket slotted and/or drilled rotors use OEM blanks/rotors and in many cases Brembo plain rotors, so it's hard to find rotors for the PT that come from/are made by the brake rotor companies drilled and/or slotted to their specs. Baer and maybe EBC are the only ones I know of (EBC rotors are slotted with dimples to simulate crossdrilling).

Slotted only rotors will give you the least amount of potential problems. Crossdrilled rotors "may" crack on you and fall apart because the crossdrilling acts as "heat risers" that cause stress points which leads to cracking. Slotted rotors will tend to warp as the slots wear down to the rotors minimum thickness.

Just remember that slotting and/or crossdrilling rotors reduces your effective braking surface area. So it's all a tradeoff.

Just FYI: If one does a search, Brembo plain rotors are selling less than premium OEM plain rotors. Might be because of the currency exchange but I found that quite interesting.
