Yep, along with plain, grooved, dimpled, one piece, two piece.

Believe it or not if someone needs to buy brakes it's nice for them to be able to buy them and have a choice

besides grooved and drilled look great and i'm a tart

mate had the same on my first wagon had tiny cracks come up around the holes

, id say refub the 4pots and do the fuild and of course the brakelines, then if you want to go bigger etc go for it

4 pots should be ok for road use.. Just get brake lines and decent pads. Both of the above traders do them. No point getting drilled as they tend to crack and cost simillar money to the better ones . I've personally got Godspeed discs and PF pads from Aztec and am really happy with the setup after last track day.
