"u cant just fit vented discs to a car that doesnt have them as standard unless u upgrade the calipers. the width is the issue. but there is nothing wrong with getting some better discs such as grooved or drilled the better u stop the faster u can hit corners...but with ur luck philll....u need more than braking power haha"
