Is their a reason you are drilling them? Further weight savings or is their some benefit besides the weight saved? What pad do you use?
Also is the 38 pounds savings off the front only or both front and rear?

Yea the Aero's come drilled according to the pics.
NCR I have a few Q....
So u order the LW front kit w/harder pads,will my russell braided line kit work with these calipers?Is there any cutting required and will my Welds clear the calipers?Do I lose the abs and if I do will I require the Bollingley abs delete block?Could I make them manual if I remove the power booster and run billingsleys kit?
I bet u could save 45lbs easy with this setup...
Plus thats off the nose of the car.
Guess I know which mod I'm doing next..
Buh bye HVAC,HEAT,AIR BAGS,FRONT BRAKES

Terry did u buy the abs delete block and go to a manual booster?
I wonder how much more weight that reduces from the car?
I wanna get 100lbs out of the car and I know I can get at least 50 of it off the nose
HVAC and manual brakes,The other 50 will come from a custom made seat braket which will save me about 10lbs,both air bags 20lbs and the ps pump and what not is another 12lbs.
If I only would stat focused on a diet and try and take off 100lbs
I could get down to 3400 or less in this car,Something to wish for I guess?
