[Roadsters] Rotors--.37 min?

[Pete Peters]

Well, .325 and .331 are close enough for me to call 'em the same. Wonder where Ross got .37, or maybe it's a best practices thing. You know, yeah, the minimum is .31, but when you hit .37 the caliper pistons are almost max extension, so best start budgeting for new rotors. <g> 

I have a new set of DBA rotors I'll measure when I get home.
