I know that they arent going to really perform any better but I do like the looks.

good for looks only.
Like Matt said, I got them primarily for the looks. But, could they be a tad better than the stock rotors? Quite possibly.

I can't say for certain because I've never seen a stop distancecomparison testbetween the stock rotors and ones that are cross drilled and slotted.

I belive the biggest increase in performance would be less fade after several high speed braking passes. (better cooling)

I think Bill is looking to get himself a show on the Powerblock between Muscle Car and Trucks.

Another nice write-up man.

So you're saying they're in no way better in performance than stock?

Metal is metal man, the only way to get more preformance is to get a bigger rotor or pad. It's all about surface area.

If my car was strictlyfor thetrack, where it would frequently see 'red hot' disc temperatures, then no, I would not have gotten the crossdrilled rotors, as they probably would start to crack.

However, there's a 99+% chance that it'll never see an autocross track. With that said, I see no disadvantages running these rotors for street use.

Here's a couple articleson drilled rotors..
