This is why you don't want drilled rotors:


My car with one year old StopTech drilled rotors.

Texasscout i doubt those are stoptech. These rotors went through some harsh conditions before and never had any issues with them.
Look at the drlled patern on these rotors and they don't seem to match what u have posted. These are the exact ones that i had.

those were 7 dollar pepboys rotors in the rear. After the run my front stoptechs weren't even smelling not to mention glowing. The front ones could take incredible beating for a replacement rotor. This just proves how different brand rotors make so much difference when it comes to taking a beating. I knew the rears would fade but was surprised to see how they were glowing. That was fun.

OSAR. They were bought through a dealer and came sealed in stoptech boxes with stoptech instructions. I still have the instruction sheet on how to run them in.

I even sent THIS picture to StopTech and they said "that's why we don't guarantee drilled rotors".
