He admitted it in the original post. He said that he didnt say they were drilled by brembo. Also, as a follow up, I just called brembo (1-800-325-3994) and they do not do this sort of thing. The guy told me it is a trick that people with a drill press and a little time do to make money. He said it is usually a hack job and not to buy them.

could have been taked to a brembo certified brake specialist and had them drilled or something to that effect....or it could have been someone who had a brembo shirt on. ;-)

How about you don't worry about it so much since you weren't personally affected by this seller in any capacity whatsoever.

I didnt ask you to care... but since you dont care, buy the rotors, put em' on your car and when they fail and you die or someone in your family dies because you bought some knock offs from Drill-Press Jim, go for it. I wont say a word.

it's not drilled at all.

it's cast into the rotor when they are made.

just like Porsche and BMW rotors. they just kept the name drilled because it sounds better than cast holes.
