I haven't upgraded to the 12" brakes, so no cross drilled yet. Im' waiting for the dual piston calipers to be released, then 12" and those.

MO, the measure of good brakes is how fast and how often they stop you. If they look like $hit, but improve your lap times, I gotta go with the $hitty looking brakes.:D

Brakes? There's plenty of run off space at the end of the strip at Bandi so brakes are a waste. ;)

When I can afford tire to autox how I like, I will have the baer track kit to stop it the way I want. Until I get that $4000, they stay like this ;)

OMG! $4000!!! I upgraded my brakes using OEM parts (280ZX and 300ZX) - $100 for vented 11" rotors, $20 for used calipers, rebuilt for $20, haven't sprung $100 for the performance pads yet because I'm cheap. I haven't come close to spending $4000 at one pop yet on anything!

Damn aftermarket :smashfrea
