90q brake upgrade woes :(

I purchase zimmerman rotors with the p/n supplied on the link below..
the hat section is too deep thus making the rotors sit too far back...
very frustrating.. it looks like 5ktq rotors are closer to what i am 
looking for but i'd have to
redrill the lug pattern, is this advisable?

Thanks!
