One thing I'm certain of at this point is I don't want to lose peformance. Not sure since I've not researched this at all but I'm under the impression that drilled rotors will increase the stopping performance under the most streneous circumstances.

I believe I read that there is a better release of gas or that it doesn't have a place to build up. Regardless of these claims, I can't imagine that normal or even very spirited street driving will benefit much from cross drilled or slotted. Going to the track I'm assuming one could benefit greatly with more agressive pads, higher performance fluid and stainless lines.

My goals are to not lose street performance and have a great look.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be digging into the research a bit more as time progresses. I enjoy reading technical information (not on everything) to learn the fundamentals of cars/vehicles.
