i have a question i have a 92 240 with 5 lug 95+ 5 lug brakes on.

but need new rotors. =/

where can i get the rotors everywhere i checked they all have them on 4 lug? they say 95+ come in 4 lug. am i confused or what? just got into 240's 2 months ago.

or can i just grab the 4 lug and drill the holes in but it might crack.??

any help would be nice?

ok this is what you do instead of telling them you have a 92 240sx you tell them you have a 95 and over 240sx with a 5 lug simple as that

no

you're in ca, there should be millions of places for you to get 5-lug rotors for a 240. advance auto, autozone, pep boys, any tuner shop could get you brembo blanks, or even order them and pay for expedited shipping if you're desperate enough.

I hope Zuul eats your car Finding 5-lug rotors is one of the easier parts to find and replace for a 240sx.If no one can source them, then either you're telling them to look for the wrong thing or they are far more incompetent. And by the posts I see, I think you might be misinforming them. http://www.eracingzone.com/EBC....htmlor even buy from ebay, and before you ebay haters open your mouths. they work, the car stops, and I'm not worried about performance braking at this time. If i was I'd have a big brake kit in. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...18205

Wow.I have a 98 LE with a 5 lug swap. Well I had the same problem when NAPA sent me 4 lug rotors when I asked for 98 SE rotors but they eventually got it right for me.. Maybe you just have really bad luck.
