Alright, I am heading down the path of cutting up my Struts to get a set of coilovers and I just have a couple of Questions.

1. I'm currently running a set of JDM struts with aftermarket rotors on them. If I cut up a set of ADM struts for the coilovers. The only major difference I know is the solid rotor on ADM and Vented rotor on JDM, and different calipers. So my question is would I be able to use the JDM brake/rotor setup on the ADM struts?

I am asking as a set of JDM struts seem to have a higher price on them compared to the ADM Version.

Cheers, Hayden

Yeh they are the same. JDM may cost more because they are JDM Yo!
If they have brakes on them, the brakes are better and should make them more expensive.

No no, drill = fail. They tend to crack between the drills when they get excessively hot . Drills ok for road but no good for track.
Slotted is the way to go. RDA do a good set for around $150-$180.

jdm brakes were a straight swap for the ADM brakes.
Though i run the jdm slotted/vented rotors now.
I was under the impression that the JDM brake clamps were wider allowing you to run vented rotors.

Could be mistaken.
