Are you running any other performance gear that you need more stopping power? I've also heard that crossdrilled are prone to cracking.

Personally, I run powerslot cryo treated rotors. I don't have anything that I really need to stop faster for, but they have saved me from an accident.

You can check the wear sensor issue by looking at your pads and seeing if they have a wire coming off of them (I know there's alot of wires, look in a chilton manual or something and you will see what to look for).

You don't need the wear sensor. I clipped mine but make sure you close the circuit otherwise you will have a stupid break wear light on your dash.

I have x-drilled slotted... Do I need them no, do they look nice yes. My rotors and pads had to be replaced so why not. I have brembos and I live in Canada, lots of the guys up here run them. If they are going to crack, they would crack on us being the vast temperature difference from winter to summer.
