Powerslots come to mind.

Cross drilled rotors arn't needed with todays brake pads and can crack under high brake heat. I want to run my car in local scca events. What I find amusing is that bear brakes sells their kits with cross drilled rotors and they don't reccomend their use in compitetion because of the problems with stress cracking. They went over it in one of the fall isues of GMHTP. One of the rotors on thunder chicken cracked and had to be replaced and Bear reccomended they replace the cross drilled rotors with just plain sloted rotors. I don't like the idea of a rotor comming apart on me at a high rate of speed and needing to brake.

Manufacturer.. PowerSlot.

and the vast majority of "Drilled" rotors WILL crack under high stress. Because they are "Drilled" after casting. If they were cast with the holes it would be a different story...

I got mine for my 1LE swap from www.appliedrotortechnology.com They are cyrogenically treated and slotted. They come with performance friction pads and they'll even tint the rotors gold, silver, or black. Look at their site. It's pretty cool. The only down side is that it takes about 3 weeks for them to have them ready.
