Slotted brakes for the KE35!

For a long time, i've been having so much braking problems because the brake rotors that I've been using are the old used AE86 standard brake rotors, which were passed its life. So I bought these endurance slotted front and rear rotors from Race Brakes, New Zealand a few months ago and nearly forgot about it. So it finally it arrived in the mail and I got them fixed up! The brakes on the car even with the standard road pads have improved incredibly(pedal firmness, response of the brakes, and most importantly the brake bite is much more).

The fronts were a bit tricky to install. From the old standard rotors, the off set piece has to be reused and bolted on the new rotors so don't throw away your old rotors before you install the new ones! Whereas the rear solid slotted rotors were a direct fit.

So when buying the rotors, what information that the shop would need are the diameter of the brake rotors you require, its PCD, the thickness of the brake rotors and the thickness of the off set piece. The more information the better.
The top ventilated slotted brake rotors are the fronts and the bottom solid slotted rotors are the rears.
