who had replaced front rotors on their s351? and what did you use?

i figured i may as well start a dedicated thread about this topic. it sounds like there could be a few options but so far it hear-say, so who had done it and what did you use, custom made, baer with a bumpsteer kit/spacers. i need to replace mine BAD and was just curious about what can be used.:confused:

I was saying in the other thread you had that according to Steetwise 94 &95 cars had a different offset caliper and different rotors....so If the calipers & rotors are indeed different I don't see how the Baer kit would work, even though Baer said they work for 94-up. Baer had no idea that the Calipers & rotors were different.

i was wondering that too, i found a good website on saleen brakes http://www.sunflower.com/~shopdrop11/1994-2004.htm . it said that coleman racing may be able to make some rotors, i went to their website and they sell floating rotors, and "alcon style" rotor hats. maybe something can come out of that with the right offset.

Yes this is a good site, I contributed to the wheel guide and he used pics of some of my wheels.
I told him about the different offsets of the calipers and what I was finding but apparenty it didn't make it to the site.

Looking at the bottom of the calipers what I was told by Streetwise is that the mounting holes where the bracket bolts to are in a different locations on 94-95's, so they set different either in or out more so they take a different offset rotor.

From what I understand as long as you have the right caliper /rotor combo it will bolt to any spindle.
