GT Coupe brake upgrade options?

[Alan Pritchard]

Hi Ben, I don't know about US side but over this side of the pond VW/Audi
rotors are very cheap.
Pattern ones starting at about $20 a pair (obviously depending on model). I
have even seen pairs of brembo rotors on ebay for $90 for my 90q. Might just
be worth going new.......

Best Regards,
