umm havent you read up on the many threads about this subject? the 97 fronts have to be pressed on with a hydralic machine. Or you can use an impact hammer to get them off, but you need need to get them pressed on. Most shops charge ~$300

hmm.. in relation to this post, which kind of brakes are better? Slotted or cross drilled?

I've heard that if you have both on a rotor it tends to warp/crack more easily... but it just looks superdope!

Anyways, good luck on the install man.

I've also heard that the brake pads wear more quickly. Nice brakes though. Good luck with the install.

With slotted rotors yes the brake pads wear faster...the slots essentially cut into the pads. With X drilled rotors you shouldn't have that problem

I'd stick with cross drilled you get improved cooling and better stopping power, plus they look sick. Oh and if you are going to get brembo's, Just so you know they never made a cross drilled/slotted rotors. There options are just X drilled or slotted...Thanks guys I'm wishing myself luck on the install too damn front rotors are going to be a bitch...I'll let you guys know how it goes
