Try picking a lower gear and see how that goes. For example, I use 3rd gear down most of Mount Ousley, and it holds at 80kph just fine. Occasionally I have to grab 4th to maintain speed on the slightly less steep sections, and then It's back to third. It doesn't over-rev,a and it's rare that I have to touch the brake or the accelerator.

Rotors are for the paj/triton and the challenger they have the same hubs. And currently using the challenger caliper with the paj caliper bracket. Really all you need is the caliper bracket of a 314mm rotor to upgrade.

I asked a rally car driver about brakes. The answer was solid rotors work better.
An Engineer who tests pad compounds at Bendix in Ballarat wrote in a forum.
He did testing for a car company. Provided braking is within a small percentage of standard re certification is not needed. He found that the slotted (or cross drilled) actually performed slightly worse than standard rotors.
In a 4wd holes and slots hold dirt causing more pad wear.
In high end race cars holes/slots allow super heated gas to escape from between pad and rotor. Not so much a problem in 4WD
but as always YMMV

Will they fit? Only the later ones have the 4 pot calipers and they are what makes such a big dofference.
