drilled rotors have been shown here to crack. and they eat through pads.

Default yeah, the cross drilled shred pads much quicker than plain or slotted...
although the slotted rotors do still go through pads quicker than plain, but thats a given.

Default nay on drilled....possibly on slotted...
even the slots fill up with dust and become useless...

holes are nothing but stress risers and they tend to crack
