Nobody does. Some have had the stock rear rotor drilled. I don't know who does it but I would be cautious. It's not steel and might behave differently. It's a ceramic/aluminum composite.

I was talking to a guy that worked on them at the factory that made them. He said they were difficult to balance. He said that Chrysler gave the contract to another company to make but the contract came back because the other company couldn't balance them properly. I would think that drilling them might compromise the balance further.

Generally speaking rotors are drilled and or slotted for performance reasons.

Since the front brakes do the majority of the stopping on most vehicles, drilling and slotting the rear rotors would in my opinion simply be for looks.

A lot of people install these performance parts because it "Looks" cool, not because they actually need or would use the additional performance benefits they offer. JMO
