You cannot use S rotors on a base - the S has larger rotors. Bigger brakes are 1 of several advantages of getting an S. You would need to do a full conversion if you want S brakes - wheel hub, rotors, calipers, pads, etc.

There are probably companies that make slotted rotors for the base (Zimmerman?) but you have to get base rotors. Good idea to measure the diameter of your current rotors so you know exactly what you need. There can be lots of confusing options available.
