Ive had grooved & cross-drilled disks on past cars (MK2 16V golf & Audi S2). They certainly seem to reduce fading. Drawbacks are faster pad wear due to de-glazing effect, more brake dust and noisy under hard braking. Look the biz through the gaps in the alloys though! Probably wont regret your purchase. I believe they may have an effect on the ABS trigger point. If the ABS does kick in quicker this is a sure sign that stopping power has improved. But then, do you have ABS?

Recommend that you put new pads on with the new disks so that everything beds in properly! Old pads will have worn to the suface shape of the old disks.
