I'm not certain but the abs sensors will be in the hub somewhere, not on the discs.
They won't make it brake any better by the way.

Maybe, I thought drilled holes were for that, and grooved for cleaning the pads.

lol
i thought grooved discs helped to stop overglazing of the pads due to high heat. which causes brake fade over prolonged heavy breaking?
