Brake questions
What's the average cost for new rotors? My '87 has a pretty bad shake when the brakes are applied so I plan to have the front rotors turned if I can but I'd be very surprised if they were in good enough condition for that. I also plan to replace the rubber brake lines, do the braded metal lines really offer a huge benefit? I'm pretty happy with the braking ability as it is, it's just that evil shimmy I wanna kill.

Re: Brake questions (A)
Given the condition the previous owner left everything in Bryant, I'd go with new rotors. There are mixed reviews on steel braided brake lines. They give a solid feel but some have had the teflon liner brake on them and cause leaks. You can finally get them DOT approved.
