Stllen Drilled Rotors - Anyone Used Them

I'm considering Stillen drilled rotors as a replacement to the stock on 2001 SE AE.

Anyone ever use these?

Opinions?

Other brands liked better?

I have them and they are a bit better than stock. They look better then they perform.

25k miles on my stillen (which actually, are brembo rotors... it's etched into the rotor) cross-drilled, and no problems.
Don't know if they perform any better than stock, I had new pads and stainless steel lines put in at the same time...
Looks cool

Slight hairline cracks are "normal" around the drilled areas - you'll see that over time if you push your brakes to their limits.

I've had mine for quite some time now (they've outlived the factory ones a twofold so far). Also, they're a little thicker than stock which helps..

Thanks for replies

Thanks for the replies, I don't race the car or push the brakes to the limits. I just have never felt that this car stopped very quickly and was hoping to improve stopping power without spending $2500.00 on a major upgrade.

I'll take your comments under advisement.

FYI, I did the driving light rewire - very happy with the results.

Driving light/Foglight - I use the terms interchangably.
