All you really need are grooved discs, as said, drilling causes stress fractures in the metal and can cause catastrophic failure to the brake disc due to them expanding and contracting during use, the last thing you want is a big chunk of metal hiting your car or a brake line due to this

Hey there bud, if you are short on money and in need of discs just get standard subaru ones, or if your current discs are allright and you really want the groved and drilled and dimpled discs then just save some cash and get them already goroved and dimpled, i really wouldnt want to attempt to drill my discs ... safety is your number one priority.

Hi. Did my own many years ago but I had access to a proper indexing machine which ,once set up, gives the correct spacing and pattern required. But,to be honest, with the cost of them already done, I really wouldn't go through the hassle of Diy
