on the subject of crossdrilled rotors,  tim was way right,  MSDS is
not cheap....kvr performance has new cross drilled rotors for my
syncro for $210/ pair and they are in stock.  pads are $ 24.00 for
semi metallic and $ 45.00 for repco metalmasters.  although i have not
ordered from kvr,  they appear to be a long time advertiser in
european car magazine.  BTW,  be careful of who you have drill the
rotors.  the drilling pattern should come from experience and not
creative drawing.  if the holes are not correctly spaced you will get
cracking of the rotors!  also,  the holes must be champhered to stress
relieve them....also fwiw,  i am not a fan of steel lines for everyday
street use.  sure they give a firmer pedal and look hip,  but they
also conceal line damage that would be readily apparent on rubber
lines.

cheers
