Re-Drilling Rotors

I am thinking of swapping the brakes on my car with those of an N/A 300zx. I've done the research for this project and it doesn't look that bad except I'm weary of re-drilling these rotors. Has anyone does this or had any problems with it? It seams to me that the integredy of the rotor would go down after drilling holes in it that aren't suppossed to be there.... someone tell me what's up...

www.heavythrottle.com sells replacement rotors already re-drilled for the 4 lug pattern. I don't blame you for being cautious, but I have yet to hear of a failure related to re-drilled rotors.

It actually is Done quite often.
www.pdm-racing.com has done it and on a couple of the Running track cars...
