So do someone know where can I buy REAR DRILLED SLOTTED ROTORS for my SVX???
Thanks!

Oh, now I see what you mean. The "vented" ones are the same as our front disks, with an air sandwich between the friction faces to let the heat get away more quickly, and so to avoid overheating and warping.
So they are thicker and require a larger caliper with a bigger opening.
If you are going away from the Subaru OEM disks because of price, then I would probably consider the EBC ones Andy used.
With a big, heavy, fast car like the SVX, it is not always a good idea to save money on brakes or tyres anyway. Better safe than sorry.
