S5 rotors in an S3 13B?
Title says it all, can I swap out the rotors in my GSL-SE with rotors from an S5 N/A car? Anything else I need to change when/if I do this?
Thanks,
Scott

Cool, thanks!
I was going to make sure they are in spec first but would you recommend milling them to 3mm regardless? And if so, who would you recommend for the milling?

3mm seals are garbage. They eat rotor housings, don't seal as well, and are harder on the rotor slots.
Milling 2mm seal rotors to take 3mm seals is negating half of the advantage of putting in the newer rotors. In short DON'T DO IT.
Don't worry about detonation resistance. Detonation forces are so high that the difference between 2mm and 3mm seals is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic - in theory it is useful but practically speaking the forces involved mean it makes no difference.
