Re: new brakes?

Brembos require a donor strut, spindle, and hub assy from a turbo or S. (for an N/A)

As for drilled or slotted rotors, there is a lot of debate on whether they work better or not.

There's two methods for getting holey rotors. First there is good old fashioned drilling and then there is casting the holes into the rotors. I can give you pictures of drilled rotorsand the stress cracking that happens w/ hard braking.

IMO the only real advantage I've noticed w/ holey rotors is less unsprung weight and even that is minimal.

BTW, zimmermans rotors have cast in holes
