more folklore....have had cross drilled brembos on a series of
motorcycles [duke 900ss-the big bevel twin, and a gpz or two] and
cross drilled rotors on two 911's and a 930.  all were extensively
drilled and the holes champhered, and not one crack of any type, ever!
 all were used agressively.  don't know if the drilling actually did
anything or not but the wizards at stutgart thought that the holes
were good for something...
