some advice. if you are going to do it yourself.

heat the rotors up as much as possible (within reason)

then drill the holes.

the problem with MAKING new holes in rotors, is, if the metal is cold, its more likely to create stress fractures and fissures in the material.

which can lead to a hidden crack, then sudden break in the rotor.

a good machine shop tech should know to do this.
