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

FWIW virtually ALL of the Porsche race cars at the VARA event last weekend had drilled rotors front and rear. (I didn't verify this, but assumed the 914's had vented fronts and solid rears.)

I always thought that drilled (as opposed to cast-in holes) were kind of bogus too, but now seeing them show up in droves at the track makes me kinda go "hmmmmm"

Since my regular smooth rotors are only a year old and nowhere near wear limits, I'm not gonna stress over it for now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
