Cross drilled or slotted rotors?
 
So I have stock brakes and would like something with a little more bite. I went on autoanything.com to find replacements and found EBC rotors that are cheap but highly recommended. On the website they have cross drilled rotors and slotted ones. I used to have crossdrilled/slotted on mine Civic back in the day and liked it but with these EBC I can only choose slotted or crossdrilled. Any big difference to you guys? I like the crossdrilled but it's gold color and I'm not really a fan of that, but that's more a personal preference. Never tried straight slotted before. I would think cross drilled would be better. What do you guys think?

With a heavy car like that a stock sized drilled rotor will certainly crack, if you are sticking with the stock size keep the regular rotors in there. If you want a big brake kit go with slotted only for added bite, but you will have to replace pads more often.
If just for looks, do whatever you want because it doesn't matter as my opinion is strickly function based.

I had drilled slotted rotors in stock size before from ECS Tuning. To be honest, I don't like them because they produce lots of brake dust, very noisy (high squeak sounds), and eat up pads quickly. Also, I didn't really feel much brake power difference. I ended up switched back to stock.
