Dont get cross drilled. Just grooved should suffice, as little as 4 grooves works fine. Most discs are crossdrilled after manufacturing, causing additional weakness in the disc..you dont need that. Most people argue that porsche uses cross drilled discs for performance, but those are cast like that. Serious racecars have discs with only a few grooves, they have better heat capacity and still keep the pads from glazing.
Another worthwile solution is installing brake ducts. I made some on my trackday volvo and it helped the stock brakes from fading for a long time. Cheap and effective if you ask me.
