I am going to upgrade next year maybe with some cross-drilled rotors. Interested in hearing how much that single mod will aid in keeping the brakes cool. A $3K Brembo upgrade is too far out there for me.</font>
You'd probably be better off spending money on the brake cooling ducts instead of cross-drilled rotors. I've never been a fan of cross-drilled rotors because I heard they are more prone to cracking. I don't personally know anybody who roadraces or runs open track who use them. They do look cool, though.

Stock rotors + brake ducts should be an excellent low-buck combo.

Does anybody make decent brake pads for the Lightning? I always run Porterfield R4 pads (racing compound) on my SE-R at the track, and they kick ***.
