ROTORS FOR BREAKFAST?!?




      Has anyone else found this to be true (see post below)....not psyched
about replacing
      rotors every six months....I've got the CC's on now and drive about
      40,000+ miles per annum...am I in the shop in 4 months?
      Opinions please....I know you got 'em.:-)


      Thanks,
          Royal

and they eat rotors for breakfast!
