Syrup, a lot of us have put on the slotted/cross drilled rotors. I like the added stopping power that they added. But, also be aware that they are a little noisier than the factory rotors as these will tend to make a whirring sound during the first braking of the day and also under hard braking.
When installing the pads, I would also recommend using a little bit of stuff called "pad glue". It goes between the pad and the piston or the pad and the caliper and it essentially glues the pad to the caliper. This not only keeps the pad from chattering when not using the brakes, but also minimizes the squeal that is common with rotors.

I did mine a little over a year ago. I'm very happy with the results. Also painted the calipers and found these decals on ebay. The painting kit was excellent except for the paint brush. I spent half the time peeling the bristles off the wet paint.

That looks great! I installed the same type of kit on my wife's Jeep and I have been impressed with the performance so far. Especially considering how inexpensive they are!
One word of caution though, I have found that the nice zinc coating has not held up very well. After about one year they are looking pretty rusty. Of course the vehicle is also driven everyday and had seen a lot of salt and snow last year.
