Cross-Drilled Rotors...(no slots)
I just ordered these babies. Note that they're only Crossed-Drilled. They're OEM size so no special adaptation/install will be necessary. I drove my Bosses NSX which has "slotted only" rotors and I didn't like the noise and the way it felt when the car would start to brake.
I should get them in about a week. By then my car will be out of the Paint Shop.
They probably won't enhance the stopping/braking characteristics, but the car was going to need new rotors sooner or later. So what the hell... Of course, I'll be installing new brake pads on all corners when the Rotors go in. Just thought I'd share them with y'all. I paid $160.00 INCLUDING shipping.

Hooray For Boobies!!!
I have the slotted/cross drilled ones and they started to crack on the center holes of the cross drills. Watch them. Otherwise I liked them alot and I will replace them with the slotted ones only. I was using Hawk HP pads and EBC reds. Both had much dust with slotted/cross drilled rotors.
It could have been the pad the the NSX was using that caused the noise and feel.

This is constant hard braking where the rotor will be getting extremely hot...for street use its fine.

Also, did Pettit have Cross-Drilled Rotors in stock when you made the inquiry? (It's a rhetorical question)

They'll be fine. Take a look at this year's 911, corvette, ferrari, most any higher end sports car out there. what do you see? cross-drilled rotors. Hmmm, must be a coincidence .
Also, did you pay $160 shipped for just one pair or for four? I know what the wholesale price is on a good set of 4 brembo oem size sport rotors, and it is more than that. If you are paying that for all 4, your seller is losing money and that makes me a tad apprehensive for you.

Drilled rotors will be fine for street use, but I would check them every few months for cracks.
If you ever decide to autocross or do HPDE, I'd get some stockers or slotted rotors though.
Great price you got too. Make sure you bed them in with the new pads when you get them installed.

And if your looking for less weight in drag racing you can use that wierd looking drag brakes...(brakes that are meant to slow the car dont just once before cooling off)
If your looking to track your car you cant just use cheap cross drilled rotors.

The price ($129.95 plus $30.00 shipping)is for all four rotors. Here's the link....

Cross-drilled rotors are fine for street or auto-x use, although they won't last as long as solid rotors. You WILL crack them at the track.
BTW, for all those mentioning Porsche, etc., these companies are doing it because the average Joe thinks cross-drilling means higher performance, not because it's so. Most of those cars use either very large rotors and/or ceramic rotors that mitigate the cracking issue. Besides, most Porsche/Ferrari/Lambo/Aston guys are NOT taking their cars to the track.
