How come? I'd like my rotors to be drilled & slotted. I'm notorious for warping them. Just to give you an idea, I destroyed a brand new OEM set in less than a week... Lol!
I know that some people don't like the Hawk HPS (they dust heavily for a street oriented pad, and they're not sufficient for real tracking). Barring other variables, they won't destroy your rotors.

Drilling holes in a rotor weakens it. If you do get drilled rotors, make sure they are good quality and the holes are chamfered. If you're notorious for warping your rotors (which is most likely just uneven pad depositing), try reevaluating your braking technique
