brake rotors drilled for 4 and 5 lug? I have everything to do a z brake swap..but can't get the hubs or wheels right now. Plus I like my Gram Lights. So, does anyone but Circuit Sports make a 4/5 lug rotor?

I was in the same boat as you a few months back. I wanted to keep my 4 lug gram lights so I searched endlessly for the best setup. The only two options I found were circuit sports from phase2 and cross-drilled and slotted brembos from heavythrottle. Unfortunately, heavythrottle closed their doors a few months ago.

Have you considered using 350z track rotors. You can find the in 4-lug here:http://www.zilvia.net/f/advert....html

^^^They're probably overkill, but they'd look nice behind your gram lights

It really isn't very hard to re-drill for four lug. Use the old rotor as a template for the new holes. Drill a pilot hole and work your way up to the correct size. Remember, the rotor is hub-centric, not lug-centric. My front rotors have been on the car for about 3 seasons now with no trouble and the rears for 2 seasons no trouble. Just take your time.

I saw these too and they're definately nice. My issue there is that I don't really like drilled rotors and I don't really want to spend a ton of money on rotors. The circuit sports ones are drilled and those MAX ones aren't cheap.

The more I think about it, the more I think I may end up re-drilling the lugs on some blanks from NAPA. That way they're still cheaper if I mess one up. haha

I bought my brembo rotors drilled 4/5 lug. Got them from projectnissan.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with them. I just said I don't really like cross drilled rotors...don't like how they look. Other than that they're like 150 dollars. I'd prefer blanks over them. But if I can't find anything else, they definately look good all fitted up with the calipers and all. You even painted yours the same way I did...nice.

Well I live close so I went there in person and the dude was able to special order them from brembo, same cost as normal I believe. Might try and give them a call.

really now...hmm...how much is normal? If it's more than the circuit sports ones I doubt it's worth it.
