Warning! Warning!(RE: Ford Contour 4x108 front brake rotor?)

["Paul Wilson" <pauldwilson@ne.mediaone.net>]

Look elsewhere.  You don't want these things.

Contours have a huge problem with warped rotors.  From what I've heard(two
people in my family have Contours, sweet V6 but otherwise mediocre) the
rotors last about 20K at most.
