Re: Cross Drilled v.s. slotted rotors or both.
Drilled rotors are weaker by design.. you removed material after the molding process. Add heat and friction with a quick cool-down time and you have warping.
I don't see much of a problem with slotted rotors.. but again, an un-even surface with less material.
Personal opinion: Big enough rotors (surface area) + good pads + good calipers (compression strength and uniformity) = nice braking.
