change in rotors
I drive an slk230, I occasionally race autocross, trackdays, etc and am wondering if changing to sloted or drilled rotors and changing to porterfield pads will help with my breaking?

Porterfield R4-S pads will help. I am just getting started in autocross and with three events left locally, I won't make any changes until spring. I am thinking of Carbotech's new Bobcat pads. The local autocross board seems to favor them for autocross and light track work.
Drilled rotors are a styling gimmick. Try slotted rotors. They are stronger than drilled and are much more effective at getting rid of gas and dust between the pads and rotor.
