    If you are looking at staying OEM for the cross-drilled rotors, only the "CSL" style or the ZCP will work. If you do go that route, you will need new from brake calipers to handle the larger size rotors.

    There are companies like ECS Tuning that sell cross drilled rotors that you don't need to get larger caliper carriers. Just remember to check to see if they have a warranty or not on those items as they are expensive lesson to learn otherwise.
