I changed from my stock solid rotors to the vented units and noticed a
little better braking and was a little better at fending off the brake
fade issues with stock pads. Then I got turned onto the Ferodo's and
havent gone back since. Since then brakes have never been an issue on the
track or autox or street. (damn, reads like a commercial...sorry.) Other
than the occasional rear (I have drums still even!) adjustment to
maintaim the firm, high pedal and once a year brake bleeding.

I have these on my 84 with Feroodo D2000 pads and thought that they would
still fade at Dubwar last year in 103F heat. It was my biggest concearn
which prooved me wrong. (Oil temp was a bigger issue...... heh.)
