So I see online a lot there are parts for the GT4/3S-GTE and not many for the regular GT/5S-FE. In particular, brakes/pads. Does anyone know if there is any difference say if I found some slotted/drilled rotors for the GT4 but wanted to put them on my GT? Thanks.

I got some from Irotors. they work good but the first time the company sent them they were covered in rust. so I e-mailed them and they arranged DHL to pick them up from my house. they resurfaced them, and then it took them forever to mail them back. took over 2 months before I got them, but they are pretty good rotors. also there's these: http://www.6gc.net/parts/89 http://www.6gc.net/parts/211 also, I got Hawk HPS brake pads and I really like them too! pretty dusty, but they stop good! --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

I got them at www.sportcompactonly.com I know they arrent drilled like you want them but drilled rotors tend to crack unless you get the expensive big brake kits which i think are cast with the holes in them. When you drill the rotors the metal becomes weak and after it heats and cools enought times they will crack. Hope this helps  |

Since you now live in the UK right? Check out Black Diamond Rotor's. There are made in the UK.
This is their website: http://www.blackdiamondperformance.com/index.htm As for brake pads. Go for Ferodo DS2500. Most commonly known upgrade for pads in Europe. Give good grip and minimal dust. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
