If you get cross drilled get good quality rotors or they will crack too, many of the cheap brands are nothing more than factory style rotors and fins with holes drilled in them and will crack after a brief period of time. For the money the best I've found are the Baer Eradispeeds or the Brembo cross drilleds. Get good pads like Hawk HPS pads and even on stock rotors you'll get better braking. I personally run the HPS pads and Brembo slotted rotors and have much shorter stopping and less dust than before.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Stay away from cross-drilled rotors, and u probably wont want ceramic pads for street use (they squeal a lot). Go with the setup he reccomended and you'll be happy.


Also, dont underestimate the value of GOOD brake fluid and general upkeep of your system. Maintain your fluid levels, and bleed your brakes about once every 6 months. This will keep the pedal nice n firm.
