The results from the poll show that most of you felt there were too many forums. The most popular choice, by far, was to consolidate them into chassis type, so that's what I've done.

Please let me know if you find any problems or I missed anything.

Thanks to Eric, for giving me a little kick and getting me started on the conversion.

I did a bit of searching and found the best price for genuine, made in Italy, OE factory replacement Brembo rotors for my '96 Cobra online at AutoBarn.com The front rotors were $62.95 each and the rears were $32.95 each.

The Brembo front rotors are non-directional like the later version front rotors, instead of directional like my OE directional Kelsey Hays rotors. I had previously purchased a replacement set of Aimco brand rotors from Disk-Brakes-R-Us. They were also the later non-directional version. The reason I replaced my KH rotors in the first place is becuase I cracked one during a track event after running them for several track events and noticing numerous small heat stress cracks forming in them. I knew it was only a matter of time before they would go, which one eventually did. I had gone through a set of stock pads, part of a set of Hawk HPS+, and about another set of Performance Friction Z pads before they cracked.

However, the Aimco rotors did not have any of these numerous small cracks that became larger until one went all the way through. They still looked "new" except for the single large "Liberty Bell" type crack that formed on one of them! I managed to go through part of the set of Hawk HPS+ and about a set of PFZ pads before the one cracked.

I have high hopes for the Bremco rotors. They look similar to the Aimco rotors, but appear to have a better casting and definitely have better machining. Only time will tell. I'll let you all know how they work out.
