Re: Pads, Rotors et all

once again thanks to all who posted, quite a bit of good info/advice.
Bill,
understood on bedding/break in. That is a bit different than "normal" and that is why I asked. I will look at some numbers of the fluid as well. As to rotors, I didn't realize there would stress/cracking issues with drilled rotors. (also in my comment to C.C.)

Andy,
I considered the upgrade, but I would need to take a longer look. Not only the bucks involved, but how much I would need to cut on the calipers to clear the 15" welds. As you may know I am not an auto x guy, (or a want to be on the e-ways). Some of things I do w/tuning (various iac controls, pulse width decay, timing etc.etc.)actually allows the car to stop normally, w/out any pulling, stall/surge etc.. Because I do not need to buy today I am going to take a look at it.

Central C.
It was always my understanding in the past when developing heat sinks etc. that allowing more surface area will increase heat disappation. That, and if the price was close was really the only thing that had me ask.
"Racy look"....I like that, I know many are about that kind of stuff. For me, No, actually I am into functional, low porfile understated, and clean look. Thanks though for empasisizing the importance, and the other results of brake bedding.
