Drive it like you want to.
No sense buying performance and not using it.

For now , keep an eye on those cracks, now that you know they are there.
I don't mean every 6 months - I mean every few weeks - hopefully you can see through a wheel, or from behind. Maybe a mechanic's mirror on a stick.

They may not be cracks. They could be the lines that develope around pads when the vehicle sits. If you can't feel them, they could just be cosmetic marks.

Lol! I bought a camera. They're cracks, surface, and more like heat checking than a crack. When teh camera gets here, I'll post a pic. I got the powerstop kit as suggested, will change when the tires get changed at christmas.

kinda like these. more of them, though.

Those look like pad marks?

Like I said before, they'er likely pad marks. I would expect a crack to catch a fingernail. Those marks should polish out with emery paper.
