For now its a daily driver, but I do intend to slowly build it out to be a drift car. I've heard that drilled rotors can form micro-cracks around the holes and need to be replaced every so often. What yall think?

I have drilled slotted rotors on the fronts of my 1968 Ford that came with the Wilwood disc conversion kit. There isnt really a huge noticeable difference from the drums that were on there before, for regular street driving that is.

If your car never goes to a race track, the only reason you'd really consider anything other than OEM style rotors is looks or price. But youll probably be replacing pads and rotors faster with drilled slotted rotors than OEM style.
