Brakes Question

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Yes potterman has "combos" but if I compare prices, this is what I found;
I narrowed it to a few dealers, sorry for the ones I missed, I am making a
point.

Potterman sells the rotor/pads combos in kits.  I'd say go with Ferodo
instead of Mintex (mostly based on Mike and Kristen's comments).
