eh i bought some baer drilled and slotted they look reallybadass, i suppose they help a little more with stopping not too noticable but this company imo about not heard anything about them. eh thats not a great pic and the fronts look better b/c there larger.

probably not really an upgrade.

save your cash and throw on an oem blank with a good pad like Hawk HPS's

I agree with balonga, unless your auto X or something get some cheap rotors. Save the $$

I have some ebay specials, SS lines, and cheap pads.....only thing i recomend is getting pads like Hawk, greenstuff, even raybestos.

Cross-drilled rotors are not a perfomance "upgrade", read this then decide...[/align][/align]My favourite quote from that site is:[/align]
If you simply can't bring yourself to believe that cross-drilled rotors are all hype, consider this; [/align][/align]Why aren't cross-drilled rotors used in NASCAR, Formula 1, Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), or ALMS? If drilling holes in rotors was the hot ticket, at least one team in one of those associations would use them.
