    I've tried the cross drilled rotors on the front but I didn't like them with the metallic pads. I then tried them with the PBR Deluxe pads which were much better, quieter with less pedal vibration. Now I have non-drilled Brembo rotors on the front but kept the X-drilled Brembos on the rear. I saw a Ferrari set up the same way. I tried it and I like it. PBR Deluxe pads all the way around. All work well for me with very little brake dust. The stock pads work well, but you are going to get lots of dust. Got the rotors from Groton FCP and the pads from IPD.
