Cross-drilled and slotted rotors aren't realy made to reduce the stopping power but rather reduce the effects of break fade. I personally like the looks of the drilled rotors, so I recommend them, but drilled rotors are a lot more likely to crack, so thats something to think about. If you want a good performing rotor that will last a long time, than just get a slotted rotor. The slotted rotors give you better break feel vs. stock because they slots allow gases to be released and they are a lot less likely to crack compared to drilled rotors. Also, look into the viper brake conversion kit(ArEngineering.com) You can get used viper calipers on ebay for about 450 bucks, 11.75 drilled and slotted rotors for 120, and the coversion kit cost 140 I think.....basically, if you do some shopping and are patient, you can get viper brakes for under a grand(at least thats what Im trying to do) GOOD LUCK.
