Parsonsj, if you decide not to use the rotors for sure would you mind shipping 2 of them to me? I have a little project I'm looking to do, but I need some old worn out rotors to do it. I was hoping I could find some old carbon ceramics, but they are hard to come by. I'm basically making a custom wall clock for my best man's gift for being in my wedding. If you can do that, just let me know and I can send you money for shipping.

I seem to recall one of your C6 fronts that had a "small" crack in it too...the one that almost made it to the flange face

The new rings were fabulous, and I had a fantastic time Friday/Saturday at Daytona. The Brembos were flawless all weekend (5x30 minutes Friday, 4x30 minutes Saturday) with awesome torque, and never a hint of fade.

Yeah, that one did have a large hole in it. Looked like somebody cut a wedge out of it.
