> Yes and no. I do a lot of REALLY spirited driving on the back roads of Voorhesville/Coeymans (hence the warping of the OEM ones - they are terrible and weak for such a big car) but I’m sure I could have gone blank and been fine (as I had on the Maxima). I would have preferred just slotted, because I’ve heard issue of drilled rotors cracking…but like I said…these are highly recommended so I’ll give em a go. For the price, can’t beat it. If they work out, great. If not, then I’ll try something else.

You know nothing about brakes do you? I laugh at people who think their rotors are getting warped from street driving. They’re not warped, they are just pad deposits on the rotor nine times out of ten.  
Cross drilled rotors are absolutely useless. Even on full race cars. 99% of the supercars or “exotics” you see with them are just to look cool. Go take a look at the brake rotors on some legit race cars. OMG they’re blanks!!! They’re going to warp without all that fancy cooling!!! No. They’re far more durable than drilled/slotted and they also don’t eat pads. If race cars don’t use them for their “spirited” driving, you don’t need them for your “spirited” street driving. Period.
