Slotted and cross drilled rotors do I fact provide for better braking and reduced fade because they do dissappear heat faster than plain OEM style rotors.

Take a look at just about any performance car and you'll slotted/cross drilled rotors.

I run ebc 3gd rotors. Woo no rust and their yellow stuff pads. They bit like mad and handle heavy braking like a dream never heating up to bad. They are dusty as hell but work wonderfully. I'm thinking at the rate the rotors are wearing in comparison to the pads I'm gonna get 3 or 4 sets of pads before new rotors.

But, that's on 94 and older.
Is it hard to upgrade the booster on a '94?
