check the car. But jimmy is right, drilling is really a very bad thing. My friend used to work at Bendix as a brake engineer. They experimented with drilled rotors. But they found out that after MUCH testing, the stress craks that resulted from the drilling (and eventual rotor failure) FAR outweighed the VERY VERY small (if any) benefit drilling the rotors provided. Only very high end cars have the holes CAST into the rotor, which is the proper way to do it. And again, as Jimmy said (and as most people probably don't know) rotors have to balanced too. Good luck.
