looking for lighter rotors
Looking for new rotors, and would like to hear your experiances. Here are my requirments:
1. Must not be larger then stock and fit CCW clasics, steet and strip
2. Light as possble, but not ultra expensive
3. Must allow for decent braking when cool, IE drag stip run off area
Any ideas???
Thanks!!!
Dave

Dave, how's it going down there? I run Bear Eradispeed's too. They claim 17 lbs. less on the 2 peice design per pair. I didn't weigh mine but they were alot lighter when handling. They have been great thus far.

Still have your 1 of 352 SW 01 Z06??? That is one awesome, clean and very rare car!!! IF I had the $ I would buy yours and make it a street/cruise car and get sick on mine (track, track, and more track!!!).

The rotors below look great but I need stock size to fit under 16CCW skinnies. Thanks man!

Jeff's (CAM) tuning the new MTI X1 cam tomorrow morning. It does alot better now without the tune, just won't stay on at idle. It's looking like it's going to present some good #'s in the morning. Hopefully 
I think TBryne's having a sale on Bear right now, might be worth a call. BTW, I had them on the C4 to with no problems on either so far.
