What if I had the shop turn them to 0.450”, and run them like that, even if there a few scores left? Your thoughts? John

Good advice! These are great brakes, except for extreme stop and go.

Even better, because of the vented rotors! Slightly less drag. More options (today) for pad materials. I'm a fan of the KH brakes, even though I don't own any at the moment! |

What is a good option for replacement rotors? For the 68 style disc?

Right now, there are supply chain issues, and I'm not sure anyone has them in stock. If I were replacing rotors, I think I'd opt for the more expensive (non-stock) drilled and slotted. I have not used them, but since those solid rotors get hot fast-I think it might be worth the extra $$. But those are on backorder too. Normally, Jegs or Summit carries them. |
