Not Ranked
I'm not comfortable doing this conversion myself [yet]. Who would you recommend in our area that is reputable and knowledgeable about our cars?

This is what causes "green fade" in new pads the first few times they are used hard, the outgassing is pressurized (think tea kettle) and keeps the pad from full contact with the rotor. Yes, rotor holes can and do increase cooling, but the amount is so small as to be insignificant.
In most street application the slots/holes are for the same purpose as yellow calipers.....the look.
