Nice, but the holes look mighty close together...  don't they have one drilled for just a four-lug setup?

Why are you doing this by the way? I think the factory setup is fine for the street.

with the 4 pot set up, I suspect u need to step more for the brake to bite... Cos more fluid needs to be displaced to push the 4 pots.. That's what related to me by a buddy of mine running a 4 pot Nissan brakes... next up is the E38 dual diaphram servo.. Actually, the E32/38 servo conversion is one of the common upgrade here to increase brake feel but it locks up the wheels easier too, especially in the wet..

I like the disc! Stock, but definately more effective. Ferrodo... They start braking a while after You stap on the brake pedal - as they get warm enough... Nice setup :)
