so let's say I go w/crossdrilled rotors and new pads. Can there be an approx % percentage applied to how much my braking ability will be improved?
And, visually, will these rotors be bigger than stock? I asusme mor elike the Stoptech rotors right?
Sean, got them on your car yet?

they will not help at all on your initial stops ( like one 60-0 stop) as a matter of fact, the StopTech owners that I have talked to have not reported any great improvement over stock when talking about 1 or 2 stops.
The improvement on an upgrade drilled/slotted rotor will come from repeated XX-o stops, these will help *scrub* the pads and cool a little more. Cross drilled rotors and a good set of pads will help you lose some of the built in heat that braking causes.
Keep in mind that a brake rotor is nothing more than turning kinetic energy into heat, the faster that you can lose the heat, the more than you get to uitilize the brakes again.
No, I have not received the rotors yet cause I dont think they are in the RaceStore hands yet....
