AE92 Sedan/SR5 vs. GTS Brakes

I am in search of some brake information regarding AE92 corollas...I do know that the Sedan and SR5 models have disc brakes in front and drums in the rear, and that GTS models have discs all-around. My SR5's brakes have been getting steadily worse, squeaking, shaking, and generally crappy. Before I go to the local repair shop and have them rob my life savings to fix my brakes, I had a few questions...

Why do the aftermarket rotors made by Power Slot fit only GTS models and not SR5s in the front?

Is it possible to equip all 4 wheels with a Power Slot (or similar) slotted rotor?

brakes are bigger ont the GTS but I'm sure you could get slotted brakes for the SR5 also.

For the rear brakes I thing the pistons of the galiper do not open big enough to have a ventilated disc. Actually, except for expensive cars, I never saw a car with ventilated disc in the rear. (Corollas,Asuna Sunfire, SRT-4,323 GTX)

swapping for GTS brakes would cost you more than having it repaired!

I know that full well, I was just thinking that if I'm going to be repairing my brakes anyway, why not upgrade them while I'm at it? Perhaps I will do the traditional GTS swap in the rear (although I'm not sure how), and get slotted SR5 rotors in the front from www.kvrperformance.com time to start saving I guess..

to do the rears you will need the entire hub assembly and parking brake cables.

the fronts should be the same as an 88-89 gts...... 90-91 gts had larger rotors. pads are the same, i would expect that calipers are the same as well.....
