Unless crossdrilled rotors are treated with something after they are drilled, the holes will rust.
Just an FYI.

...not to mention they'll crack if driven hard.

Tim,
Before you buy, just an idea.
Switch your rear brakes over to 1.8 Touring spec. You can get all the parts for rear disc from a wreckers for very cheap. Then, use x-drilleds for an mx3 which is the same barkes as the 1.8. You could get KVR, APC, etc...whatever
KVR (From Ottawa) is about $100/rotor
