They're junk. I got a set about 5 years ago when I was young and dumb and they warped extremely easily. They rust like crazy too. Cheap cross-drilled rotors are prone to cracking. A majority of my friends who track their cars just run the cheap parts store oem replacements with nary a problem. If you're set on upgrading though, I run cryogenically treated rotors (not cross-drilled or slotted) that I got from the Tire Rack that have withstood a couple track days with pretty agressive pads and they still look new.
If you want drilled or slotted rotors buy good ones, Baer, Willwood, the ones from Strano, etc.
Cheap drilled rotors are very prone to cracking because they are drilled after they are casted. The more expensive ones are cast with the holes already in them, then the holes are just cleaned up; this makes for a MUCH stronger rotor that's not as prone to cracking as the cheap ones.
The Autozone rotors are very popular and work VERY well for the price for your normal driving. If you're looking to upgrade then as teke said, Strano/Hawk combo works very well.
