The 50resto kit looks decent, I wonder if you can upgrade the rotors and drums to slotted?

Yes you can but your wheel choices will be limited w/ that kit.

Because of the hub height on that style rotor. It will not allow certain wheels to work w/o using spacers. Then they stick out because of the spacer.
