Regarding cross drilling, it should be noted that many people have had
complaints about cross drilled rotors cracking between the holes; perhaps
due to poor drilling techniques that leave stress risers(?).  While this
hasn't happened to me yet, I won't be surprised if it does.  If/when it
does, I'll likely buy a set of stock rotors and have slots machined into
them - same idea as drilling, but alleged to be more durable.
