14mm bolt gets a 14mm drilled hole. The bolt isn't dead nuts 14mm, it's slightly undersized, and then drilled holes are almost always slightly oversized, so it'll go in fine.
order this up and send iiiitttt...

Thanks! He suggested using a reamer too since the normal bit chipped, but can't find a reamer in metric size on amazon. The amazon reamer are diff size, smallest being 1/2"

According to the OP "its probably one of the best mod i've done to the car. threshold braking is so much easier now without having to smash on the pedal, and the brakes stayed consistent laps after lap. the pad wear is noticeable less also. i did not get a chance to take rotor temp but i'll do that at a different event.

hmm... i guess i can swap my 17x9.5 weds for 18x9.5 weds...
how "even" does the drilling have to be? I'm assuming this probably needs to go to a professional? i.e., what happens if it's off center? i guess the caliper wouldn't line up right on the disk?
one guy mentioned drilling offset to make the mod work for the rears - anyone else do the same?
