Can anyone drill rotors?


Draco-REX

Recommended Posts

I ordered a custom set of rotors from Adam's Rotors for the BRZ. I even e-mailed them to ask them exactly how I should order them to eliminate any confusion. I did what they asked and they still screwed up. The custom rear rotors are fine, but the off-the-shelf front rotors are wrong. *sigh*

 

So can anyone drill a pair of rotors for 5x100 relatively quickly?

Conversely.. Does anyone have a set of 2004 STI front rotors laying around I can have until I get these Adam's rotors sorted out?

I believe IPS posted a couple years ago that they were doing this now. Might check with them. GL

 

Thanks. Gave them a call and he wasn't fully comfortable with doing it. But he's going to see if he has some 2004 Sti rotors laying around.

I would seriously advise against this.

 

Here is a quick sum up given by EBC Brakes as to why it’s bad. http://ebcbrakes.com/articles/dangerous-cross-drilled-rotors/

 

Here is a long winded explanation but has some really good info. http://automotivethinker.com/brakes-2/rotors-blank-vs-cross-drilled-vs-slotted-and-warping/

 

You will do what you will but I least wanted to put this information out there.

Just call around to different machine shops. I'm sure one of them would be able to do it fairly quickly for you.

I might be wrong, but I believe Draco wants the lug pattern drilled.

Teaser: (..taken with a potato with bad color then compressed and sent as a text. The yellow has a touch of green and isn't so pale)

Getting some more info from Adam's, but I found a shop who will drill the rotors if Adam's won't take care of the problem.
