Who is using slotted brake rotors?
How do you like theme?
Where did you get theme?
Are there any squeaking issues or other problems?

A little more expensive, but you know where they come from.

they look cool, but don't expect any change in braking.
Pad wear may increase a little tho.

Thoroughly check out the source. I think some of these are modified rotors from offshore manufactured from lower grade steel.
Check Raybestos. Their price seemed fair and they have a 50+ year reputation.

I purchased my front Raybestos slotted and drilled front rotors from Rockauto.com. Rears are harder to find. It may be possible to use front in the rear as well. I just used the Raybestos HD plain in the rear.

no, that's not possible. Not only don't the fronts have the parking brake adjustment hole but the offset is different on them too, they may look similar but they aren't.

I bought my slotted rotors from Van Steel. They had a sale a while back and I got them for around 100 a piece. I have yet to put them on since i am still working on the car with body issues.
