Not sure about the RL, but some rotors are a composite bi-metal or tri-metal. Aren't the rear rotors solid? I wouldn't want holes in mine. And for vented rotors, you would need to know the vein configuration beneath the rotor surface to keep from drilling the wrong spot and weakening the structure.
