You are getting brake fade which will be fixed by the bigger Z rotors, but cross drilled and slotted will do nothing but look bling and compromise the structure of the rotor, then tend to crack. If you REALLY want Brembo cross drilled and slotted, you'll be paying alot more because most of what you find are brembo blanks that are drilled and slotted by someone else. Brembo wont validate any warranty on those, they'll eat up your pads faster, and may crack or warp under stress. Real Brembo blanks is what you need, and some good brake fluid and pads. Cross drilling and slotting used to be done as a way to help gasses escape from the pads because it would form a layer between the pad and rotor and hinder braking performance. Pad compounds have changed since then and no longer produce these gasses, so all you're doing by CD & S is taking away mass which is what you need to help prevent brake fade caused by heat. Go take a gander at the wheel and suspension forum to find out more.
