crossdrilling is rice. it serves no purpose in the world except to look cool. Rotors are heat sinks. when you reduce the mass of the rotor by drilling, turning, or even by simply useing it and having material wear away, you reduce the effectiveness of the heat sink. when you drill a rotor you also create stress risers, which will untimately lead to cracks in the rotor, which may lead to complete failure.
My purpose for responding to this post is to insure that anyone concerned with the reliable performance of their brakes does not waste their money on drilled rotors.
drilled rotors are for show cars.

The store that you are thinking of is Bap Geon....they sell PBRs there. I just replaced mine w/ those, best pads i ever driven with. Got 'em all around for 75 bucks.
