Has anyone fitted these,
they are cheap, but that's not always best.

I seem to recall someone having problems with cross drilled disks on a Griff, in fact i think they cracked through the holes to the O/D of the disk

[Fat Griff]

Disc's that have been drilled by an after market engineer are know to crack as i was told. I just went for a grooved option and had no problems what so ever!

Personally I´d go with a decent pad on a plain disc (Ferodo DS compounds are non gassing anyway) rather than bling, grooved/drilled/cadmium coated/whatever discs. Learned this the hard way - my nice and expensive Tar.Ox grooved discs didn´t really retard the Saab much better with the OE pads. Ferodo DS3000s on plain Brembos though... (ok ok I upgraded to a bigger vented disc and bigger callipers of a later 9000 model at the same time...).

Mintex1144 brake pads are best you can get for Chim/Griff for stopping power, though they do squeak.
