    Thanks everyone. I just canceled the order from the people who were taking so long to deliver the rotors. While I am up at Hot August Nights I will talk to various vendors and maybe go directly to the Summit Racing store up there and pick up a chosen solution. Your advice will help me with that decision. In the mean time ultimate defensive driving and leaving plenty of interval space will get me through. Just hope there is no need for a panic stop!

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
