Not a definative answer, but I guess it would be fine as long as they are dynamically balanced afterwards. The depth of the groove would be limited so as not to reduce strength and I would not machine them much deeper than the minimum disk thickness.

A friends of me had a Integra Type-R
His Stock front discs were grooved so its possible.

But it it wasnt necessarily better

Dont bother, buy uprated ones with better internal vent flows. You risk cracking on disks unless you do it with precision tools/machines and once you head down that route, it gets expensive, there's alot to the design of these drilled and groooovy discs...

I agree, the std discs were not originally designed to have grooves added.

Drilling holes in them is a big no no, they will crack between the drillings & the last thing you need is a brake disc shattering when under heavy braking!
