I got the slotted and drilled rotor kit from rockauto for the front brakes on the 03 EB. The front end has a massive shake when the brakes are applied. I already greased up the caliper studs and replaced the passenger caliper with no change. Pads are great (ceramic) but I am still replacing them with the new rotors. So I am hoping this will fix it. This will be the 2nd set of new rotors the car has had. My question though is the kit has smaller rotors then stock. I assume this will be ok since they list this as the right kit for the car. But I want to make sure there will not be any issues with the kit.

12.95" (kit) vs 13.46" (stock)

It is the K1933 kit

I would check with them. It doesn't sound right to me. I would expect them to be the same size. You are losing 1/2" of braking surface with the smaller rotors.

The specs are wrong either for the ones I got or for the ones I was comparing sizes to. The ones I got were the exact size of the ones I replaced. So 30 minutes per wheel and my brakes are perfect again.
