    I'm sure you put new pads on when you put those rotors on too right? Of course it would feel better and possibly stop better then Not saying get a big brake kit...just cross drilling is pointless, it serves NO use in street or racing applications -- it's strictly for looks and now that you've worn them down below the counter sunk bevel the holes are just collecting brake dust and possibly eating your pads faster than normal. I would just get blanks

    This is good advice.

    Only thing I'll add to it is that high performance (track) brake pads aren't always going to stop you faster. Generally, they take slightly longer to stop, especially on the street. Reason being is they're designed to stop well, and consistently, when HOT. (IE: track use)
