'05 S-T R Brake Rotors?
Would like to go to cross-drilled rotors (F&R) and ceramic pads on my '05 S-Type R. Search after search for parts coming up empty. Brembo website doesn't even list OEM replacement info. I thought maybe I could get a new set of blanks and have them drilled. That hasn't worked yet either. I know it realistically would not result in that big of a performance gain. Though a setup like thatwould result in less dust on my wheels and it would just plain look awesome! Can anyone help?

There seem to be really only three choices - all with varying degrees of investment...
1> Disc Italia (BrakeWorld.com) lists a part number for cross drilled STR rotors. Ready your wallet for $900/pr., if I remember correctly.
2> Frozen Rotors: takes OEMs and will cross drill for an additional fee. I don't know what they will charge for the OEM rotors but it won't be cheap.
3> OEM: Non cross drilled and the lowest price I've ever seen at $333/pr (rears are less; i.e. all four otd for under $600) is through PAM Porsche Jaguar Parts in Las Vegas http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214626
FWIW, the dealer quoted $750 for the fronts and wouldn't budge - of course, they're the only game in town.
Maybe buy them at PAM and have a local shop cross-drill?
I actually called Brembo and they only source STR rotors through dealers.
Re: brake dust. I switched to Akebono pads on all fours and dust is non-exisitent.
Good luck,
Eric

The Akebono pads are great! No more brake dust.
