personally... at $60.00 a pair for front rotors
I could buy three sets for the price of the cross drills.

...can't see the sense of it unless you are a pure racer.

Not that it was a big savings, but I thought I'd mention, for anyone else
that's interested that I purchased a set of cross-drilled rotors for the 
spitfire for $172.00 from Spit Bits. (Moss wanted $180.00 for a set.)

Is it my imagination or does it seem that the front rotors wear out at
about twice as fast a rate as the rear drums?

Also, how difficult is it to modify the rear wheels to disk brakes?
