Thats cause u rapidly heated them and rapidly cooled them, i hardly think that counts as normal, even for extreme braking.

cross drilled is a waste. most companies do it because consumers want it. they do not run any cooler, and the original purpose was to reduce weight, and to evacuate the gases that build up from burning the adhesive that holds the pad material together, it forms a layer of gas between the pad and rotor, and reduces the energy transfer, so the holes let the gas escape. now we have made the slotted rotors that do a better job. now, on the other hand, most of you will never crack a rotor, drilled or otherwise. but, in a real performance point of wiew, slotted and dimpled are the best. the dimples give a bit of extra surface area to remove heat, and the slots keep the pad face fresh. im not totally knocking D/S rotors, just that slotted is technically a better choice. hell, i have D/S on the rears on mine[&:] and yes, i have seen rotors crack, right along the slot lines. and they were very, very expensive rotors. lets just say the front two cost enough to turbo almost any one of the cars in here.

Nah dude, I have all stock brakes.
J/K... I love sharing initals with them.

Look at most AMG brake rotors...they're cross drilled and slotted

Now, why would you need rotors with that red air-brake on the back side??? [8D]

Wats that expensive about em? I saw 2 brembo rotors for like 150.
