I have no none to vouch that cross-drilled improves the braking abilities. I
belong to a club that has road rally drivers< Pike Peak drivers, and there
conclusion is the larger brakes and high temp pads what really works.
Majority of them use non-slotted and cross-drilled.

Brembo is a good brand and manufactures high-quality brake units. You will
find the next SRT-4 and SRT-10 will have Brembo brakes on the vehicles.
However, You will also notice the size of the actual rotor mass is bigger
than the standard OEM version.
