It almost time for me to change out my pad and rotors. I've looked around for cross drilled rotors but I was not able to find any where but ebay. The ebay ones look cheap and seem like they will break easy. I was wonding if anyone knows where I can pick some up for the IS350. I remember a while ago that Rotora had some 2 piece rotors for the IS350 comming out soon. Does anyone know if it came out and if anyone has installed them.

Some people may disagree with me here but I personally think cross-drilled rotors are more prone to "breaking" and "cracking" under high pressure because most (if not all) cross-drilled rotors are drilled after the metal is molded. This will decrease the durability of the rotor by having less metal mass to handle the pressure.
In any case you wouldn't even notice a difference between flat, slotted, cross-drilled rotors unless you're constantly braking at extremely high temperature (racing conditions). For daily driving a regular flat rotor is more than enough and its a lot cheaper. But if you are going for the looks, slotted rotors are good enough.

There is already a duct from the front into the wheel well for fresh air to cool the brakes. It just needs a duct to feed air into the center of the hat for track days.

cross drilled can be a negative depending on how the rotor is designed... if it had too many holes... its might reduce the surface area too greatly...reducing the contact area of the break pads and the rotor...thus less braking power...
