Naw, crossdrilled tend to stop faster.

The rotors are just more apt to crack.

I had a set on my rears a while back.
No problems and felt pretty good.

I just havn't bothered to source another set.
I don't like buying cheap rotors.


As for the brakes, if you lube the ears of the new pads with brake grease they will slide easier.
Also, clean out the clips on the caliper bracket to help them slide.

And it's actually a little easier if you remove both bolts and hook the caliper onto the strut spring.
Just MO.
