Why are they so big? Your pads are only getting to 50% of the rotor?? :confused:

:cool:

Haven't heard of Niceville in awhile... lived there from 74 to 78. Used to live on Royal Palm Drive in the Palm Estates. Went back a couple of years ago to see how things have changed. Had dinner at Guiseppi's Warf. :cool: place.

:cheers:

His rears are the Eradispeed+1s. They are larger than stock to fill the wheels. The only problem is that they will get a two-toned look since the pad doesn't sweep the entire rotor.

is it possible to get a bigger caliper to cover the whole rotor? or is there not enough clearance :confused:

Yeah, that's why I went with the stock sized Eradispeeds...but I REALLY love the way those fill the wheel.

[QUOTE] :confused: Where are the pics?? :confused:

JW, I took the pic off. I was just fired up about the rotors and I liked the way they look and wanted others on the forum to share in that excitment.
Most, not all, of the comments were a bunch of "Negative Crap".
If I did not like something that a forum member put on the forum and that member did not ask for my opion, I would not respond.
But 'What Ever" I guess that's what makes the world go round :flag

Gotta be ready to answer anyones questions when you start a post! If you ar referring to my replies as negative, they were not at all! I just wanted to know more! That's how I have learned all I know about these cars, by asking!

I still don't know why a rotor would be bigger than the caliper/pad that sweeps it but maybe someone can tell me. I'd have a hard time believing there could be a logical reason but I'd like to hear the reasoning someone might have! :confused: :rolleyes: :smash: :lol:

People asked about the oversized rotors... We answered. I'm glad someone mentioned this before as I would have gotten the same set but I do not want the two-tone color that will eventually happen. Not everyone likes everything. I'm amazed at some things people do and everyone replies "Looks GREAT!".

Thanks for the reply. You have to have thick skin around here, that's for sure. As long as you like them, that's all that matters. :cheers:
