   drilled holes in disk are crap and can lead to the disks fracturing dureing heavy use ie a track day
   
   cast holes in disks are better but you wont find many of them to fit a saxo
   they are mainly found on high end super cars

   100% true.. a hot disc from heavy or infact normal usage, which is left to cool is not a great combination. Cold air passes through the holes, causing the cracking!
