Default Rear Brakes,... Vented

Anybody make a vented rear rotor for our cars? I am doing alot of modification to my car this summer, and one thing on my list is brakes, because it will likely get autocrossed in the future. I know our rear brakes are solid disks. I have found slotted and drilled discs, but no mention of vented. Can they be had? Is there a conversion kit without spending $3k on brakes?

You could always use the vented rear rotors & calipers from a 4.2 or A8...

Default You really think you generate enough heat on a 1 min autocross

to need vented disks?

Default Well I'm not doing parking lot autocross,... I'm racing at a track. NHIS in Loudon, NH

So for a 5 lap race we are talking 7 or 8 minutes of HARD braking. I guess Autocross wasn't quite the right word for it.
