Early struts you can get vented, and cross drilled fronts made by Sebro but you can only get them from Europe. Last I checked it was around $550 shipped over for a pair

Real question is why do you think you need vented rotors?
Unless you're having serious issues with brake fade, there isn't an advantage to vented rotors. Even if you were having some fade there are other pad compounds that can minimize it. Would be surprised if you're getting fade in a street and/or canyon carving scenario. Track use is completely different. Vented rotors add mass and inertia to a rotating wheel assembly which then impairs vehicle acceleration & deceleration of it's own accord. Basically a net negative to performance unless you're having brake fade issues. |

I thought there was just a thread on this? or was it caliper adapters?
There was a kit designed by Mike Mueller that was sold by Brad Roberts, but that was 10+ years ago. The cost of machining the hubs was prohibitive. |
