I have the 300zx breaks, and want to use them on my 4 lug set up. Can the 5 lug rotors be redrilled to a 4 lug pattern and work well. Also has anyone done this? That is have 5 lug rotors drilled to a 4 lug pattern?hanks

wouldnt there be a problem with weakening the structure? or is it not major? im thinking cause there will be air in the little holes left over and it will expand if the rotor heats up and might crack it.. or no?

my thoughts.Max

nope...the rotor hat does not see any noticeable amount of heat for that to happen. That's why the rotor surface is vented and "big"...

I went to a machine shop and they did it for 80bux a pair. I recommend that you do NOT try to drill them yourself. Just a heads up :P
