You "may convert"??? you'd better do it!

Yes. Crossed Drilled Rotors are only for show on the
street. Slotted Rotors are an expensive way to avoid
slotting the pads...

Get yourself some braided brake lines (6 pieces for
this conversion), and the 16V master cylinder, or the
result will be a very mushy brake pedal.
Don't forget to get rid of them 13" mags of yours.
