Drilled mens less mass in the rotor to absorb heat, thus less braking force. 
The holes no matter how they're made lead to cracking which shortens service 
life of rotor. There is no reasonable use for drilled rotors in AutoX unless 
you need to over compensate for other personal inadequacies. :)

This is basic physics. Of course the laws of physics don't apply to Hondas :=0
