If you read my post,I explained that drilled/slotted rotors were initially designed many years ago to help vent gas build up from old technology pads.Now adays pads are engineered to produce very little if any gas.So on a street car that will never see extreme brake temps anyways with pads that produce little gas,the use of drilled/slotted rotors is negligible.I'm not saying he will have problems with them,but they will mostly be just for looks.And as for your argument about keeping the brakes from fading and enduring heat better,how can you argue that removing mass and reducing the overall face area of the rotor produces better cooling effects? and just incase you still think i'm wrong..lets quote the baer website

"Will slotting or cross-drilling my stock rotors improve my car's stopping performance?
DEFINITELY NOT! Cross-drilled or slotted rotors do produce a strong visual appeal behind a modern open wheel, and they do have a performance edge when pad outgassing occurs. Outgassing occurs at extreme temperatures when the bonding agents that hold the pad material together break down into a gas form. This gas creates a pneumatic barrier between the rotor and the pad, reducing friction. Cross-drilling or slotting creates a path for the outgassing that occurs during extreme braking conditions. However, these conditions can virtually never be reached on the street! Short of a complete system, performance brake pads, a proper Teflon lined braided stainless steel hose set and quality brake fluids are the only direct replacement upgrades that can be combined to deliver measurable stopping improvements in the context of direct replacement components on the OE brake system."

I need to do something to my brakes as well. I have an 88 coupe ex 4 cylinder car. I am running 15" 4 lug wheels on the car. Is there anything I can do that will clear the 15" wheels?

If you do get the Cobra front fit, you may be able to use Cobra rear calipers(among other things) with your old front rotors and put them on the back...

That might not work I am just thinking out loud, but Summit sells a rear Cobra break kit them uses 11.65 rotors or something like that...

you can use stock gt rear brakes and cobra's upfront, it works fine that way also.
i dont know if the extra stopping in the back would be a good thing or not, a proportioning valve would fix that problem though.

im thinking the brackets wont mount up though...

^ Yeah there is a kit they sell with all the correct hardware. The rear GT brakes look awful small, and if you had an extra pair of rotor you could bring it up to Cobra spec on all four conors... Like I said, I was just thinking aloud, it may be too much clamping power like you were saying.
