N I C E ! You shoulda maybe painted the calipers while you were doing the brakes. Did you get SS lines as well? Hows the braking feel? Diamater on the new rotors look larger giving pads more surface to grip.

why cross drilled in the front and not the back?

i dont need SS lines because i dont do much city driving, no auto rossing and this car isnt seeing track time, so why invest 150 dollars into something i wont actually NEED, ya know? once i need lines, ill get stainless, but for now, OEM is enough

For day to day driving, upgrading the rear rotors to cross drilled is almost cosmetic as the effects of slightly cooler brakes will be negligable.
Slotted, cross drilled and SS lines are great if you are taking itto the track. Then you will certainly benefit from every little tweak you can get to enhance your car.

The majority of the car's braking is done with the front rotors (unless you drive backwards all the time). Hence they are almost always a larger diameter, and wear out quicker.
