Cheap discs are normal discs that get drilled. In high-quality discs have the holes already included in the cast which are redrilled later in. These discs also don't tend to have stress cracks. But they are much expensive.

If don't drive in rain you don't need any drilled or slotted break discs.

Ah, I stand corrected, good to know how they actually work, I was told something different.

But there's absolutely no need to respond like an angry little boy, "that's not true" would have sufficed.

Cheers.
