I've done it.

If you use a drill press, it's gonna be easy as pie.

Bolt one of the holes together, and match up the hub bore. Then the other 3 holes will be aligned.. so you can just drill. If you don't want to go through several bits, just spray some type of lube/oil to absorb the heat.. and make sure it's a good quality drill bit.

Yes, you have to use one existing hole, then match up the hub bore on the rotors, and the the other 3 holes will be placed where they're supposed to be drilled.
