i do believe MG racing is a good place to go for those nice looking rotors. the holes are cast in, not drilled to minimize cracking under extreme conditions, and they look pretty good. i'm not plugging for MG, but i think it's worth looking into. heck, even i was looking into it.

O.K. I think the drilled ones look great. Why can't you just drill the ones you got.. countersink the holes ..any reason why not

you run the risk of compromising the structural integrity of the rotors, and the risk of cracking is higher. no matter how good your machine is (Fadal, Cincinnati, or whatever) when you drill the holes you run a risk of compromising it.

that's why you want rotors with holes cast into them.

We are real close to offering kit . I am sill working on mounting bolts for kit I am looking into special stainless alloy that will still give strength that is required . Also needed to make heads of bolt low so we could fit wider rotors in future if car was used for full race . I have jpg. That I will post of rear rotor we are working on . High performance pads are also in works for stock brakes . I worked on fitment of brake lines for a month . Sending prototype lines back and forth from California and getting metal brackets to fit correctly . I was very impressed with the work that Earl's does . I am also working on companies to distribute products that are in development . We have been testing products so that we will know what customers can expect from brake upgrade .
