Draco-REX Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I believe IPS posted a couple years ago that they were doing this now. Might check with them. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 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.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Whoops I see that now... my bad. Dreco I have a set if you want to barrow them, they’re used and will have some rust on them but they will get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not the greatest response from Adams, claiming I didn't request the 2004 STI rotors I ordered to be re-drilled to 5x100. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 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) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7117/13408996234_b32f149e0c_b.jpg 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.

OrangeDot3083 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Looks good! Are those calipers from an STI 08+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 2011. But I think any 08+ rear STI caliper will work. The fronts are all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
