Pics of new rotors...
These are the Baer Eradispeeds I just got. They cost around $550 for the front pair and like $10 more for the rear pair. You can get them in red or black anodized and slotted, or slotted and drilled. I highly recommend staying away from anything drilled.
my first set of these was for my camaro, and they worked great, so it wasn't much of a consideration when choosing to buy these.
they're cheaper than stock replacements and have a warranty against warpage. given the good looks and lighter weight, it's a win/win.

gotta season em first and all that so it will probably be a week before I know how well they perform. probably not a whole lot different than stock being that they're the same size.
the stock pads built up on my stock rotors so i put in the Ferodo DS2500's. they seem to dust a little less than the stock ones and can take a lot of heat without fading.

any advantage other than looks? not that it isnt nice 
also..... do cross drilled really have issues????? My wilwoods never had an issue and alot of companies use the, Porshe , new Z51 C6 vette etc.....

hmmmmmmm
interesting they look very sweet!! but i dunno i imagine cross drilleds would look even better.... and if they are so bad why would they make them? Also wouldnt there be a seperate warranty for crossdrilled ones if their life expectancy was less??? just somthing to think about...
All cross-drilled rotors have a finite lifespan that is understood when they are engineered. The best remedies to keep drilled rotors from cracking are (in no particular order):
1. Cryogenically treat them (this is debated)
2. Cast the rotors with the holes in place (a la Ferrari Enzo, Porsche PCCB)
3. Chamfer the edges of the holes to spread out the surface area (this is a slight bevel around the hole)
Every car that has drilled rotors will eventually need to have the cracked rotors replaced. If you notice, most race cars actually use slotted rotors since cracking will be exacerbated during very hard use.
