IDK what I meant by that, I just remember reading it in the huge Rotorpro vs. the rest thread that the pn 120.xxxxx were twice as good as the regular 121.xxxxx rotors. I think it was said by EVOBrakes.

I don't know what their service life is to be honest because I've only ever once ran rotors till they need replacing. that was on my z06 when I cracked all 4 x-drilled AC Delco rotors @ lightning. I usually just replace them with my pads since they're so cheap. I guess if i wanted to I could measure their thickness, but I'd bet money they'll crack before they are worn down enough to replace.

These cheap *** rotors are the reason why I can't justify getting a set of 2-piece rotors. The unsprung weight would be nice, but the cost difference is staggering.

I thought you had all different colors in your bay. Isn't your Valve Cover, BOV, IC pipes, front rebar, strut tower bar & ect. all different colors?

yeah I like your idea or not investing in rotors but instead making them a basic wear and tear item based on the prices on that site. I am trying to justify to myself right now if I should throw out the rotorpros i have on my car for the past two years and do what you do...

I remember looking at rotors of your on the Evo that we completely heat checkered and cracked... I thought it was the Evo, maybe it was the Vette... Either way, they were effing destoyed!

Chu, I just got off the phone with Mike from B&B, I think I'm gonna send my muffler back to them to have it replaced. He said they'll take good care of me (less than a week turnaround), very reasonable cost, and ship it back for free. Even re-polish it. Now that's a good company that stands behind their product. B&B, made in the USA baby!

Thought you might find that interesting after our conversation the other day.

Mark, the valve cover is the only color. Strut bar is raw titanium, and pipes were black, and now polished...not very colorful.

Pete, thats awesome. Did they tell you what the cost of replacing the muffler will be?
