not going to link, but pretty much every thread that results from someone wanting these ends with this:

back in the day, performance brake pads were made from a material that broke down under high temps, it then emitted gases, which messed with the rotors.

so they drilled them to allow the gases to escape.

now, brake pads dont do that, the whole theory that most people give to having drilled rotors is for cooling... but vented rotors with veins, the veins do 99% of the cooling.

heat and air etc is going to follow the path of least resistance, ie travel through a pipe that is heat wrapped to colder air to disapate, of try and bleed through the insulated pipe...

same with the rotor, is air going to flow with the rest of the air in the vein, or is it going to make 90° bends and be all turbulant.

i think you should just find a set of slotted & vented rotors, put them on the correct direction and call it a day. will save you a couple hundred because you can get quality slotted rotors at a fair price compared to both drilled and slotted.

if you complain about paying an extra $200 for brake parts... imagine what that difference will do when you need to stop and something breaks.

most people just get brembo blanks, good brake pads, and steel braided brake lines. thats enough for a swapped car going 120mph, and will only run you $400 for the whole setup
