They are said to crack easier than blanks.

under alot of stress and heavy usage, cross drilled rotors have a tendency to crack while slotted rotors tend to warp alot easier...but you do have to understand you have to really beat on it alot for it to crack/warp...under normal driving conditions, you probably wont ever see that happen alot.

and since most people dont brake all that hard on day-to-day driving, it really doesnt prove a point to get the bling bling drilled and/or slotted rotors for more money.

i would suggest, like many other people would, get some OEM blanks like brembo and some really good pads like the Hawk HP and Motul brake fluid.
