brembo blanks that are cross drilled/slotted = good or bad?

hey guys this seller on ebay says he has drilled/slotted rotors machined in the USA from Brembo blank OEM sized brake rotors. i am guessing he had the original stock brembo rotor then he cross drilled and slotted it himself. is that safe to run? i dont know much about brakes so i want to know whats up with this. thanks

brembo blanks cross drilled/slotted with axxis pads on ebay...

Yeah, brakes aren't really something you want to skimp on. No one ever died from their exhaust not being open enough or from not having a smooth enough intake.

cross drilled are bad for daily driving, especially if you live where it gets cold in winter. The cold to hot changes cause warping and cracking.
