Brake Discs: Drilled & Vented, is $95/ea too much? Options

[Scott Carlberg]

So I received this catalog from FVD-usa.com, mostly 911 stuff, but I've wanted to check out their catalog for sometime...

Anyway, on page 101 of their catalog, they list "Drilled Brake Discs" for the 914,
Front & Rear. They are $95/ea

if you go here: http://www.fvd-web.com/phpkatalog/index.php3?lang=usa

then put this part #: fvd 351 08 and then enter
the Rear # is fvd 352 07



Yes, I know, the picture has 5-lug, but the catalog does list the 914-4 separately from the 914-6

UPDATE


So I sent an email to FVD about the Drilled & Vented Brake Discs, here is the response I rec'd from them....

> Hey Scott
Sorry I have been away for a few days. Fvd does offer drilled brake disc for your car with the 4 bolt pattern. As a funcarsonline member (6speedonline.com)
i can give you a 10% discount on the brakes.
cheers

So, it does sound like they do exist.

Dave said something about the Drilled discs would crack, that you'd need to check them once a month.
But, I wonder if that would be such an issue on our light-weight cars, 98% of which do NOT see the race track?
