Cross drilled or slotted rotors are a total waste of money. Unless you just want them for the bling factor, don't bother. I don't need them on the race cars, and they certainly aren't required for the street. If the rotors are truly cross "Drilled", and not cast with the holes in them, there can be stress risers in the metal that can, and will, lead to cracks, and eventual rotor failure. I run a Sprite hard in the mountain twisties of Northern California, and the stock rotors work just fine. I upgraded the pads and shoes, but the drums and rotors are stock.
Braided hoses, on the other hand, are a worthwhile addition. They won't expand under pressure, as a rubber hose may, and they won't deteriorate from within.
