Are these any good?

How about the price?

[Gr1m]

just do the beefy camaro/corvette front swap imo not too much more then what your gonna pay for that

[bentiac]

These brakes would probably perform at a lower temp than the OEM corvettes. Is the corvette brakes a straight swap? and Cost?

Drilled and slotted OEM-size rotors will perform worse than what you have now. The reason is because the rotors have less mass and will therefore overheat faster.
The Corvette brake conversion is likely your most cost-effective upgrade that will provide better braking performance.

i concur... my oem sized d and s rotors outperform any other car i have ever driven

I have to say different, my cross drilled/slotted rotors with kevlar pads have incredible stopping power, my stock rotors and pads never came close. i also upgrade to stainless braided brake lines and super blue brake fluid.

i agree on the swap. i want to do it eventually this summer

How many cars have you driven?

You may not be getting your rotors hot enough. If you are just autocrossing, rotors usually don't have long to get hot, so most autocross brake componds are specifically formulated to have great bite at lower temperatures, but will fade when things get really hot.
That's a difference between driving styles - I used to road race, which was extremely punishing on brakes as far as temperatures. My pads don't really start to grab until 300 degrees or so, and squeak like crazy when they are cold.
But when the going gets tough, the fact is that drilled rotors will have less thermal capacity than plain rotors (of the same size). The pads begin to fade quicker, and you'll eventually boil your brake fluid - even ATE SuperBlue.
