Default Brake Rotors?

Who offers quality cross-drilled 13" brake rotors for a C4?
I know Baer does, but are there any others?

Thanks,
John

I believe Stillen makes some. CAlso GT Rotors sells 'dimpled' rotors (not fully drilled, but they are supposed to hold up better).
Mid America carries both. (page 54 of their current catalog, or http://www.madirect.com ).
You may know this already, but cross-drilled or dimpled rotors will not do anything for your braking performance. If you do any severe braking (i.e. racing), they'll be more prone to cracking. For performance, you're better off staying with stock rotors and getting some good pads like PFC Z-rated pads. However, if you're just going for the look, then no problem.

I just want the drilled for looks, I plan on swapping rotors for racing, if ever I get into it that much. (besides the local autocrosses)
