There is absolutely no performance reason what so ever to use drilled rotors. They are for looks only.

Actually GM did a test on drilled vs. non-drilled and the drilled had better cooling and less fade compared to the non drilled. Drilled brake rotors do slow a car down better and it is exponential as speed increases. Drilled rotors have less fade. So, yes they do provide a benefit BUT they will CRACK under extreme use.
