Keith, HA, GOTCHA! Actually, it is Chip's unique. I am just tinkering around on it doing some tune up and detail stuff. Talk about wanting one now, after having use of one for a little while I have to get in gear and get one!

I think Chip and I are on for the 15th but I need to email chill to be sure and get some finger bowls reserved for us!

I wouldn't worry about the rotors on your car. Chip's car is almost 20 years old but only has about 2K miles on it but who knows what the condition of the rear end was when it was built? And the brakes weren't working right, so there was some unusual wear on some of the brake parts but not on others. So I wouldn't worry about yours until you need brakes and rear brakes are usually not needed for quite some time after fronts are needed as they do MUCH less work to stop the car.

I just didn't even know where to start to make his car stop better. So I thought I would ask about the rotor thickness while I had it apart.

Keith, will your car lock up under hard breaking? I can't get chip's to lock up yet but I still have to bleed it out some more although it already stops WAY better than it used to. And it still seems to "nose dive" when I get on the brakes hard like maybe the rears aren't doing quite enough yet.

Chad
