Are those the rotors from R1 Concepts? If so, I have the same ones waiting to go onto my car. Just waiting on my EBC red stuff pads as well.

I was using the Green EBC's on the drilled Brembo's on my IS300 .... i didn't notice any real braking difference (kept the Lexus calipers) ..... liked the look a lot though because the brembos had a gold annodized finish ..... no crappy rust to sand and repaint every spring.

Did you find you had to drill them every year to remove the gunk accumulated in the fall/winter/spring ?

p.s. I'm sure will cross pass in Ottawa some time. Nice choice of options on the car.

I only had them on for one winter so hadn’t noticed a need to clean the holes.

I don't know .... kept the same calipers so I expect they were same size as OEM .... can dig up the Brembo part numbers if interested.

I was told that the red stuff was more for track racing or you had 2 heat them up or something, I have always used the EBC green stuff in all my cars that ive switched the rotors & pads out & they have worked hella great!!
Let me know how that works out over there. . . Hey 1 more question, where did you order you EBC's from? Later
