Are ABS and non ABS front rotors the same for a 92 AWD?

My stock front rotors have two extra holes that bolt heads stick up through. I just got some aftermarket slotted/drilled rotors and they only have the 5 holes for the lugs and two small threaded holes. I called the place that I ordered them from and they said that the front rotors for ABS and non ABS cars are the same. That can't be can it? What am I missing? Theres no way that the new rotors will sit flat on the car when I install them. I haven't even tried it yet but I know they won't work. Can I drill the holes myself?
 
shouldnt have to drill holes, mine were the same, I dont have big break upgrade on my car though...
mine were the same and i speak from experience
 
no my talon doesnt have abs, but my rotors were ordered w/ abs, but then i bought a new car, and had these rotors still in the box so i threw them on
 
In that case I don't think it would matter. Those two bolt heads wouldn't be sticking up but you'd just have two extra holes in your rotor. See what I mean? In my case I have the bolt heads sticking up but no holes in my rotors to clear them. The bolt heads will keep my rotor from mounting flush, if the holes were there they would just slip right over them.
 
Follow up......Yes there is a difference between the front rotors on non ABS and ABS cars. A quick trip to Sears for a nice $14 drill bit got the job done. I had to drill two holes in each of my new front rotors to clear those bolt heads that stick out of the hub assembly.
