Talk about timing.  I just installed the ATE Power Discs on my 4000
(10.1" vented), along with a change to Mintex brake pads.  Just bedded
in the pads, and have not really stomped on it yet, but so far so good,
and those discs do look cool.  The gas slots on the rotor should help
with the braking performance.
