Drilled rotors crack under heavy use.
And destroying a set in a week means there's something critically wrong with your driving. Not to mention I have no idea how you would manage that without driving like an asshat on the street. Are you holding the brake pedal down when stopped?

Yeah that's insane. I can't imagine that happening on public roadways without being completely irresponsible What Chuck said. Don't hold the brake pedal when stopped if your brakes are hot. This causes the pad to deposit a bunch of material in a single location on the rotor and is the definition of uneven pad depositing, which is often incorrectly referred to as a warped rotor.

All drilled rotors will crack due to the area around the holes cooling faster than the rest of the rotor however the cracks you will see on the surface of the rotor are superficial and do not affect the integrity of the rotor. If the cracks start to spread then you should worry but for normal street use we have 0 issues with our rotors cracking to a point of concern.
