Brakes

Instead of struts and shocks, for the moment, Ive decided to go with slotted and crossed drilled rotors and ceramic thermo-quiet pads from r1concepts.com Thanks for the reference mark.

Actually, don't want the slotted/crossdrilled rotors. I prefer the stock rotors. More surface area = more stopping power.

If the rotors are not warped and have any meat left on them I would be interested if Mark doesn't take them. What diameter are they?

fronts are 13", the rears are 11.25". Mark, if you dont want the slotted, the rears are in good shape, with some meat left. Bill, the fronts still have plenty left on them as well, i am getting a little vibration from the front, one theory is that they are slightly warped, however they have only been on the car for around a year and a half

From what I read people do this, but they seem to have trouble finding a shop willing to do it. On one truck forum they said he went to 4 brake companies and none would touch them because they said it would mess up their brake lathe.
