Default So.....slotted/cross drilled rotors????

Are these worth it, ws6store is running a good deal on these. Just wondering if these plus some new better pads will increase my braking performance noticeably. Plus, they do look pretty good.

For performance: No.
For looks: Up to you.

Too bad search is broken.

chupr0kabra (chupacabra?) is right, don't get them if you're expecting a high performance braking system. Solid rotors are best for absorbing heat when applying your brakes. If you want your cars brakes to look pretty, then they're for you. The drilled/slotted rotors are more prone to develop stress cracks though... If you want a more effective braking system, upgrade to larger front rotors (C5 upgrade) and better pads.

For those who state they're making a significant performance improvement with them, that's where I call placebo mod.

Sorry to interrupt. Thank you, drive through.
