I would think that they are talking about Cross Drilled Rotors not pads.

Had 'em on my old car.

I had zimmerman cross-drilled rotors on my old Jetta VR6. I ran them with Mintex pads. They were cheaper than replacing my rotors with OEM parts.

I didn't autocross, but they worked well on few tight and lengthy canyon runs in my area. They look cool, too.

As long as you don't plan on any serious racing, I believe any cross drilled/slotted rotor should be fine.

I have had rear Zimmerman d/s rotors on my MINI now for about a year and a half with no problems, besides a little rust on the sides. I have used them for 2 autocross events and about 100 round trip runs on the Dragon with no problems.

And in case you don't know, there is a really popular seller on Ebay that sells 2 front Brembo d/s rotors and 2 rear Zimmerman d/s rotors for around $220, including shipping.
