I have no idea why there are so many holes. I just gave them my car and said "Have At It." So I don't know if they came that way or if they did it afterwards.

Yes, one of those items is a caliper.
The 14" refers to the rotors diameter.
Calipers are specified differently and not in inches....
2 piston full floating, 4 piston full floating, 6 piston full floating
and so on. So it still stands that those are not 14" CALIPERS.
14" rotors, maybe.
Whats the reason behind all those holes drilled into your ROTORS?
Thats where they will start stress cracking first, btw...

Only if you brake the car hard enough to really heat up the rotors

Thens yous will bees okays.
They were drilled in the past to allow brake pad gasses to escape.
Its old tech thats not needed anymore...

But rotors still get drilled.....
