I got a machine shop to redrill my rotors with the same upgarde. But they did a hack job at it and it doesn't look that great. However, when i was researching about this upgrade, I was told that you can use a hand drill and drill it out yourself as the rotor is centered onto the rotor vis the hub and not the studs. I have yet installed my kit because it's winter and the car is in storage.

Don't forget, you will have to shave i think 3mm to 5mm off the caliper bracket to achieve even pad wear.
