Hi,

Drilled Rotors on a Street Car which is not Tracked, Auto-X'd, or DE'd is purely an aesthetic enhancement. No real benefit, or extremely little, is derived from them because you are not using the Brakes Hard enough, or Frequently enough, to worry about Fade due to a build-up of Plasma between the Pad and the Rotor.

The Trade-off to aesthetics are accelerated wear to the Pads (especially Street formulated ones) and Stress Cracks in the Disc, possibly leading to early replacement. I don't use them...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
