vented rotors on a 105?

hi,
is there anyone out there that knows of a vented rotor of another production car that can be fitted to a 105 without too much work?
i have been using solid rotors and outlaw calipers until now but need to replace the rotors and was hoping to find a vented option without the need for a 2- piece set up.

anyone out there with ideas or suggestions id love to hear them.
im racing again in 4 weeks so im trying to work to that time frame.

thanks

ben

Centerline and IAP along with several other parts sellers have cross drilled and slotted rotors in stock most of the time. Granted they aren't vented, but they are a step above un-modified solid rotors.

If it's a special rotor due to the outlaw calipers, then you may need to look a bit harder, but they are out there for those specific calipers. (I've seen them somewhere for sure, but can't put a finger on it right at this moment)

Ben, if you search the brakes and suspension thread, you will find a few options for vented rotors. My opinion is that it is overkill. I used to have Montreal vented rotors with Wilwood calipers on my race car. When I couldn't find reasonably priced replacement rotors, I went back to the TarOx solid rotors with 2800 Outlaw calipers. I can't tell a difference in overall braking ability or fading.
