they look like pretty cool discs.

take your wheel off and measure the size of your discs then compare to the size of the ones in that auction

much discussion on this ins the past...


but yes drilled rotors are more likely to crack, especially if they are cheap ones....

with the better pads we have these days drilling isnt needed like it used to be.

in saying that i still see some hi spec 911s with them stock... and im not going to argue with porsche on brakes....
but i bet the replacement intervals on those ones is quite short :wink:

Go have a look here:

I have been looking around (albeit not that hard) for some 4000 series (to keep them one piece rotors) non cross drilled rotors for my ae101 GTZ

I think they look pretty sweet
