Read the "x-drilled, vented or both" thread. I bumped it up for you. I'm just that type of guy.

yep.. vented.. crossdrilling is done to allow gas "bubbles" that form between disc and pad during extreme use to escape so the pad isnt lifted way from the disc, and grooving is done so the pads dont glaze up in heavy use.. neither help cooling or efficiency as well as vented discs.
