Why does God hate 5-lugs w/ABS?

[Encryptshun]

Okay, I need your help. I have ABS on my '93 hatch, and I'm going 5-lug. However, I cannot find any front 5-lug s13 rotors that will work with ABS calipers and are SLOTTED but not DRILLED. I can find drilled-&-slotted but not just slotted. I've tried SP, Brembo, PowerSlot, and Circuit Sports.

Anyone know of a reputable place who makes 5-lug, ABS front slotted rotors for s13? Would a 97 -98 Kouki 5-lug rotor fit with the old ABS calipers, since they are a bit bigger and wider (if I remember my searching correctly).

Thanks!

Bump for new spin on question:

Will 5-lug ABS s14 front rotors fit on a 5-lugged ABS s13 front with no clearance issues?

Thanks, Yakota. I dunno -- I got some bad info I guess. I was told that there was a difference between the front ABS rotors on a kouki vs a zenki. But everything aftermarket I've seen has one part number for 95 - 98.

It still looks like I'm going to have to either get rotors that are slotted and either dimpled or drilled OR I'll have to get slotted 4-lug rotors and get them drilled for 5-lug by a shop.

I can't figure out why there's so little ABS-friendly aftermarket support for the s-chassis. I mean, there are still quite a few used for time-attack and Auto-X, and ABS would be good for both of those...

Okay, according to Jeff over at 240SXMotoring, the Rotora slotted front rotors for the 97 - 98 240 are a direct replacement for the s13 front ABS rotors -- the only difference being they are 5-lug instead of 4.
