RE-drilling rotors

Who has had this done? I need to get my TII front rotors re-drilled to 4X114.3.. Any machine shop can do this?

Cheaper (and much safer) to buy ones already pre-drilled. Less chances for cracks to form.

I'm doing the re-speed big brake upgrade but keeping 4 lug. I ordered TII front crossdrilled/slotted and need them re-drilled.. What are my other options to keep 4 lug?

if it can be done the hard part will be finding a shop that will do it due to lability i have done other cars before all it takes is a mill and rotary table and some time it would be nice if someone sold blank rotors (no bolt pattern) like they do for vw's then you could have any pattern you have to make sure the new pattern doesn't any of the old pattern and sometimes it just won't work

i am 5 lug and sometimes i wish i was 4 lug. mainly because i want some SSR's with 4x114 you have a better selection of old school mesh and watanabes, my two favorite wheels. with 5x114 you can get good wheels, and sometimes cheaper. i got my set of Work Equips for around $400. they have some curb rash, but ill have a wheel shop fix that when i get the more important stuff taken care of.
