Please let me know your thoughts......

Thanks

My advice is to stick with the 11" rotors unless of course you are planning to run this thing at Watkins Glen International Raceway (road race course). The upgrade to the 13" rotor and six piston calipers would be a waste of your money for a street driven car.

PS: My other suggestion is to stop down at Bruce's Speed shop in Rockaway, NJ, as they are quite straight forward and will not be afraid to tell you exactly like it is, regardless of whether you want to hear it or not. When you stop in, tell them "Mr Mustang" says hello
