Default cross drilled rotors?

I am thinkin about gettin those crossdrilled rotors from accordstore.com they're no AEM or Brembo, but what do u think?
here's a noob brake question: do crossdrilled rotors need resurfacing ????

when they warp, yes. but i don't know of anyone who is willing to turn them for you. imho? just get brembo blanks for replacements unless you're thinking about forking out big-buckage to maintain brakes.

yeah stock sized replacement driller or slotted rotors are really only for looks and will actually warp easier. your best bet is brembo blanks with some good pads if your on a budget. if you got money to spend then some big brake upgrade would be sweet, although maybe a little overkill unless you got alot of power under the hood or race.

not really sure about those howeva warping isnt that big an issue like it was years ago since now you can get certain drilled, slotted or even drilled/slotted rotors machined now when they warp

Hawk HP+ if you don't mind squeling almost everytime you stop. But I always tell people "it's the sound of performance."

Cross drilled or slotted discs shouldn't be needed by you even if your actively autocrossing...waste of time/money and they'll warp, badly. after a while. Just get Brembo blanks and avoid the headaches.

Is that the track version or the street version? And how bad is the squeal? I wanted to get the Hawk HP street version but if it squeaks every time I brake, I'll get something else. But your braking is much better than stock, right? And are they hard on your rotors? Thanks.

I'm getting cross-drilled rotors ONLY in the rear. In the front, slots are the way to go. I don't care about warping rear rotors because that's pretty hard to do. And cross-drilling weighs less than blanks.
