I've found kits of front and rear drilled and slotted rotors from USA and I'm interested in buying it, will these kits fit my SVX?
Thanks!

You must not read the posts through. In my first reply I mentioned that US rear discs are not interchangeable with Japanese or European. This is because US rears are not ventilated like ours. So they are thinner. So the caliper slot is smaller.

If you really want to go US on the discs, you will have to fit US rear calipers also.

But this is more costly and is a retrograde step.

You have to stick with European or Japanese kit for the back brakes. For the fronts, US alternatives will fit OK.

Sorry for the bad news.
