Over the weekend, my oldest son and I went here, doing some of this, while watching a bunch of this.

I bet he was at Laguna watching bikes... just a guess.
Maybe it's just me, but are those images upside down? If not, you're calipers are installed wrong...the bleeder valve should be on TOP.
I've cracked rotors that badly before.....it's not so unusual. Given that you're using 4-piston calipers, and likely larger pads, you'll be putting more heat into the rotors.
Recheck your brake duct system. It may be time to move to a set of 2-piece rotors. The stock Cobra units are relatively thin compared to the heavier duty 2-piece units. I don't know if I'd jump right into a set of StopTech's, but definitely consider better rotors.
Wait, what!?! Brake fluid is lighter than air right? Ergo, the low-side bleeders...
j/k
The wilwoods are universal from side to side so there's a pair of bleeders up top too.
The rotors have had a full life including ECR last year, Houston, TWS & Hallett... plus some testing. I think it was just their time. Only Hallett was on the wilwoods though. I'll be paying close attention to how long a new set of cobra rotors lasts, it's possible my rotor expense may go up. I hope not, a big factor in switching calipers was long term cost savings. Time will tell.
So is the fluid cross-over passage internal to the caliper? I always thought the 2nd set of ports had a crossover tube in them and you just swapped the tube and bleeders to be correct for whicherver side you were putting them on.
