Re: (VetteWave)
I am not a fan of crossdrilled... they have a tendency to crack at the drill.
countersinking the edges helps... but not enough...
the only way "crossdrilling" works is if the holes are cast in place.

Re: These rotors any good? (VetteWave)
I can't comment on those rotors, but I do have Power Slots on my Formula.
I was basically looking for a rotor that wouldn't warp from auto-x abuse, and the Power Slots have held up great, been on my car for a year, 8 auto cross events (or more ), and no problems...and slightly more responsive brake feel.
Keep in mind I have an otherwise stock set up on that car- much smaller breakes than a Corvette, as well as a few hundred more pounds to stop.
Hope this is of help,
Tim :)

All for looks, no real performance gain, and they crack at the drilled area.
