[Shotimes] My %$#*&@* Rotors are Warped Again!!!!!!!

[Donald Mallinson]

Josh,

The 96 SHO upgrade is sooooo easy!  You use the SAME 
calipers!   Just buy the caliper brackets.  Two bolts per 
side, get new bolts just to be safe.

buy the new pads and new rotors (about the same price as the 
94/95 units) and you have almost 12" brakes, and more 
importantly, a thicker bigger rotor that is much more 
resistant to warping, or whatever it does!  ;)

Check with the various SHO vendors for brackets at a decent 
price.

As others have told you, the SLO has smaller brakes, you 
need the 96-99 SHO, or I think 95 and up Continental also works.

There is a complete guide with part numbers on SHOtimes.com
