yeppers, if you got the stock sized rotors that would be all you need to change.

if the rotor size is the same as stock then no but if it is bigger then you will need bigger caliper brakets not calipers. i think you can use the itr brakets and/or calipers to but im not for sure :? it just dependes on the rotor size

Do your research before you drop coin for drilled/slotted. I looked into it and it's definitely a fashion over function trend. And you pay a premium for less performance. And it eats through your pads faster.

thanks for the info deschlong thats was some good info but it has its if and buts i already bought them so iam stuck with them never bought them for look just for better performance and trust me they say its better to have when its in the rain so at least thats a plus of what i got but u have to exprence so once i i get the feel for them if i tell the difference then maybe ill stay with oem if not then ill stay with drilled and slotted , one more question since i bought them i should use oem pads or ceramic when i get my S & D
