I have to disagree. I myself have DBA crossdrilled/slotted rotors on mine and it does stop alot faster than stock. They really shine when stopping from high speeds in a hurry. There is no blueing, cracking or anything on mine after about 2500 miles. I know this because I get bored and pull my car apart what seems like every few weeks and the have been paying especially close attention to the rotors and pads. The pads are still good and everything.
Placebo effect, I personally don't think so. It does stop harder, faster without any fading at all.

Then again maybe it has something to do with the Wilwoods and style pad I have on top of the rotors.
