i think you'll be fine with the screw out system, im assuming you're meaning the screw on the old rotors

well i like to keep mine in for safe keeping, but if you have a wizz wheel or something that can cut a straight line in the screw use it and cut two straight lines so they look like an X and then wham use a phillips impact screw driver to get it out. problem sloved.

Drilling it out is fine. Your new rotors come with new hub screws.

Mine didnt come with any new screws, And I have the brembo as well.. Two of my bolts were completely rusted on like every wheel so I drilled into them and pulled them out and have two on every wheel. It only takes maybe a couple of weeks tops before the rotors actually stick like glue so you dont necassarily have to have all of the screws on but it is in your better interest to use em if you get em.. Mine never came with them.

I dunno I just like the extra sense of security to know my rotor is gonna be intact to the hub by those screws, I mean they are meant there for a reason, so I keep mine on.
