As Perry said, only reason you buy them is for the jdm dc5r brembo upgrade. I learnt that the hard way, by accidently buying the wrong rotors (s2k).

To fit s2k rotors to the OEM caliper, you`d need some sort of custom made spacer/bracket to move the caliper out a further 7.5mm. And longer caliper bolts. Not worth the effort imo. When you can buy ep3 rotors off the shelf.

You`ll need different pads for the brembo upgrade anyway. So you be better of getting new ep3 rotors and pads now and selling them off later. Then buying everything for the brembo upgrade, if you are looking at upgrading. Or just upgrade to the brembo kit straight off.

Cheers man thanks for the info, will be looking at getting some slotted rotors. Anyone know of some good prices?

this is the price i got from Yonas 3 weeks ago,

dba 4000 series front slotted rotors $420 incl GST per pair ( ETA 5 weeks )
rda front slotted rotors $260 incl GST per pair ( in stock )

i think the eta for the dba 4000 series are still 2 weeks ? not sure you might want to give them a call,

Anyone used Silver Neomax coilovers? I popped by shiftperformance just then and they are fairly cheap 1.3k. Any thoughts as I'm tempted to get them, however I also looked at the stock height of the ep3 and it really only needs to be lowered one inch or so to reach the tyre, so I'm thinking whether I really need it or not.

Any input would be appreciated
