I have zinc coated rotors but if that fails this is what's going on next for sure.

I would guess about a 1/16... I think, for the cost and looks achieved from the mod, not a bad deal. I had one hat damaged and even with all the bad posts about Eckler's, they shipped me a replacement out right away. I'm a happy camper with the whole thing. I'd loved to have done the drilled and slotted rotors but, with all the chrome I've been putting under the hood, that'll have to wait till next Winter
