I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but with today's technology, 
cross-drilled rotors are nothing but for bling.  Just ask any racer.  Unless

you spend 10K for a rotor made out of space age materials, any cross drilled

rotor will warp or crack before a solid one.

Although this wasn't true maybe 15 years ago, cross drilling a rotor will 
not improve your braking, but it will decrease your brake pad life.

My advice, for what it's worth, cross drilled/slotted rotors are great if 
you want to impress the Honda in the next lane with the fart muffler.. not 
much else.


My thoughts on this: Well said!
