My idea would be to skip the drilled rotors and get flat ones.

Another idea would be to shop somewhere else.

Uh.. There are only 2 offsets available: 16.7mm and 22.7mm.

If you managed to get 25mm somehow, then you measured wrong. And FWIW, I've never had a problem getting the correct parts from ECS. Just get the 22.7mm offset rotors from them, and you'll be fine.

Some hd pblms W/crossdrills cracking (OEM style not 2pc) mayB try sloted & dimpled rtrs

I personally have been running the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors for 4+ years with good results. I would recommend the "green" pads. I currently have the red pads, and they stop very good, but they are noisy, the green pads stop good 2, but they are much quieter, and easier to deal with for a daily driver. They also have yellow pads, those strickly for "off-road" racing purposes, not street.
