Just get a set of Axxis metal master pads and you'll be set. The cross drilled rotors are mostly for show. They do, however, help if you do repeated high speed braking.

I figure I may get em anyway and if the rotors warp again, then I'll replace em with crossdrilled or slotted ones if they come out.

I read that cross drill rotor can crack easier therefore get slotted. Is Brembo that expensive for the TL?
