hmmm ive never seen a rotor without the screw holes. and yes you will need a impact screw driver just be carefull hitting it the screws well they are little bolts with a philips head on them they are easy to break. about the rotors without the holes check with the place you got them at and see if they gave you the right ones good luck

you need the holes on the rotors. those 2 screw/bolts hold the rotors in place. and yes be careful with taking them off, they strip really easy. use plenty of wd-40 or something. good luck.

you don't NEED them. it just makes it easier to put everything back together. Lug nuts hold it in place.

It does not hurt if they are there. If they are not, does not hurt either

I stripped mine and then just drilled thru em. You dont need em, they are there to hold the rotors on the car when its on the assembly line. As MXS Said, the lugnuts hold the rotors on, not those 2 puny screws.

As said before the screws just hold the disc on when its going down the line. I recommend anyone with a new civic to take the screws out while you still can. A few years down the road when you need to do your brakes its gonna be a bitch to get those out.
