I think what '70CortinaGT' means is that the R1 discs 5/8 " thickness are cross-drilled which relieves some heat but are not the same as vented discs like the ones found on the Capri 2.8. These have a webbing between the friction surface of the discs and are approx. 1''.

i figured that.. i trying to do a volkswagen/volvo combination. passat rotor with a 240 4piston caliper, i'm trying to make something that will be easy to replace when brake job time comes around.. buying 2.8 vented rotors are a little too expensive for my taste.. the shipping cost almost twice as much as the parts..

These Maxima rear strut inserts-Is that with the rubber top type mounts or the roller tops?

Yeah , those would be the rubber tops. I think the person that told me said they work on the bearing mount to . Not sure , haven't had a bearing one apart yet .
