Brakes

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I agree with Larry on this. The 10.1 front rotors are fine unless you're 
making really serious HP or you live in the Rockies and enjoy blasting down 
mountain passes!
One other thought is that as you go to larger brakes you also need to go to 
larger master cylinders. If you don't your brakes will become too touchy and 
difficult to modulate. So, you need to think about the whole system and, of 
course, the cost involved!
