MoFoCo Rotors

[Alex Kowalski]

Thanks, Steve; that's great to hear, but did you have to change the calipers and/or carriers
to bolt those rotors up in place of the solids?  Aren't they a larger diameter as well as 
being ventilated?

It would be good to know, because I will be doing the rear brakes and parking
brake cables on my car soon.  Depending on the condition of the calipers when
I get the wheels off, I may be replacing them, and if I'm going to do that I'll buy the
whole enchilada -- ventilated rotors, reman. 20v calipers and carriers, etc.

In any case, it's hard to argue with $28 for the pair assuming those rotors are
legit.  I just couldn't believe the guy had the chutzpah to name his company
"MoFoCo."  ;)

Cheers,
Alex Kowalski
