I'm still very interested in the rotors. I was going to text you the other day basically about this update.
My dad is in the hospital. He broke his leg falling in my house, and hit his head on the way down against a step. I was woken up at 9:00 Sunday morning to him calling for me after he came to from passing out when he hit his head. I called 911 and they came in force with an ambulance and a firetruck. He was in the ER for 12 hours before he was admitted, and has been there ever since. Yesterday they were checking out his heart to see if that could have been part of the reason he fell in the first place and instead of finding a healthy heart they found multiple aneurysms throughout his coronary artery. Basically I do not want to spend a dime until I know that everything money wise in my house is taken care of, because that takes priority over anything else.
FR500s are out of the question, but the IRS is still in the works if it's going to be a straight across trade. Then I'll just have to buy an alignment (which I was planning on anyway) and I'll be good to go.

Sorry to hear about your dad.
Hope he gets better soon. I know what you're going through dude. My folks have gone through many things (Mom almost died from a similar situation) but they turned out well after all that, thanks to God

Well my dad is now in the (relative) comfort of being home. ![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have found a set of front Cobra brakes with lines, rotors, and calipers for 200 bucks and shipping, so that is on my list of things to-do right now.![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)
Also I'm planning on having a shop do the install of my Watts link onto the new car. It was such a pain in the butt to get it tuned in right on the 94, and even at the end it still had a wicked clunk when I hit a bump. I'm hoping (and the shop owner assures me) that, as soon as the shop is done with it, it will never need to be touched again. That in itself sounds like it's worth it to me.

200 is a great deal, hell, I spent more than that on pads all the way around, and front rotors.
suspension can be very tricky to set up right, so having a shop do it is probably a great idea

Ride height really did not change much if any, so I'm not sure how necessary pics are. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
I ran into a local guy today running the EVM watts link, and he basically said that he had been trying to set his up right for over a year just toying with it, and when he brought it into the shop they had it sorted in an hour. Very comforting.

That's the way Brembo and most real performance brake companies do it. There was a post on Jalopnik about slot/cross drilled directions just the other day!
