I recently obtained some q45 2 piston calipers but did not purchase the 2 rotors from the junkyard becuase i wanted to get brembo slotted rotors along with the upgrade, i was wondering if anyone knows any good places (shops, online distributors) to get brembo slotted rotors for the q45 redrilled to 4 lug.

I was also wondering if it is possible to obtain just brembo complete blanks (11" x 28mm) not even drilled for 5 lug and have them drilled sepcifically for 4 lug. as too maintain structual regidity with no questions. I dont see why not. any information would be helpful.

Thanks

without holes? Doubtful, or at least significantly harder than just getting normal 5 lug replacement brembo blanks.

Structural rigidty is always good, but unless you're gonna abuse the car or you're putting down 500rwhp, i don't know how big an advantage it is, or worth doing over simply drilling 4 lug pattern onto a normal rotor.

it's a great upgrade though, my friend with the stock s14 brakes loves the feel of q45's.

The only downer is finding pads, as outside of Axxis Metal Masters, OEM, or crappy brands, the only performance pad I found is the Porterfield R4-S...which isn't too bad, since it's a darn good pad, just not a dedicated track pad
