I bought a set a q45 calipers and pads to install on my vert and am trying to find a 4 lug q45 rotor but don't want to redrill a 5 lug rotor... just think that if it's the slightest bit off, you'd have a tone of vibration... Fastbrakes.com sells a slotted and drilled 4 lug 11 inch rotor for 100 per pair... anybody got a better idea or price???

Good question.

I'll leave this in the 'vert forum for a day to see if you get any good answers... but after that, I'll move it to the brakes and suspension forum for better response.

Anybody know of a better deal that this?

In my opinion... $50 per rotor is a great price for slotted and drilled..

There's no problems with redrilling the 5 lug rotor to fit the four lugs. I did it when I had my S13. Simply lay the 4 lug rotor on top of the 5 lug rotor (hat to hat) and line up one of the holes. Take a marking pencil and trace out the other three holes. Then, you have a perfect template for drilling

if I had a decent drill press, but with a hand drill, I don't have a lot of confidence... if I took it to a machine shop, they'd charge me a bunch... think I'll just go with fastbrakes...

Just go with fastbrakes. Crap, wish I would have known about them. Instead, I now have a set of 5 lug Brembos that I need to redrill.
