I had the exact same discs (protex Ultrastreet) hot enough to burn the paint off the hubs last time I did Collie & still have no cracks 30,000 km later?

My car is due for rear discs in a month or so.....will be going RDA slotted rears.
10k old discs, even with a recent machining still shouldn't have cracked.
