hey vince…

cdn tire might do it…

just fyi, I’ve done this myself and i’m a super noob. All you need is a 4 lug rotor to use as a template, clamp them together and drill. it’s reallllly easy.

on that note, if you can find a 4-lug rotor or get lucky and cdn tire has one, im sure they’ll do it for you

slotted rotors are nice but drilled they will crack escpecially when you are using cheap rotors.

He’s talking about redrilling the rotor in order to fit it on a 5bolt car rather than 5lug. Common when upgrading to Z32 or Skyline brakes.
