Dear Mark,


I'm afraid you must have missed the earlier posts.


What I presently have in my possesion (not yet installed) are the
cross-drilled <bold><underline>FRONT</underline></bold> OEM disks from
MSDS. They use the stock calipers. Also included in this kit are their
highest-quality brake pads (front and rear) and stainless-steel, braided
brake lines (front and rear). As I said, this setup looks quite nice to
me.


What I'm "looking into" is 4-wheel ventilated discs.


I haven't yet decided to go (or not to go) with the MSDS setup -- even
though it's staring at me in the garage, just begging to be installed!
Before I decide, I'm waiting on more information from German sources.
What I've heard is that 4-wheel ventilated discs are outrageously
expensive -- I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.


Cheers,

MJS
