speaking of wilwoods, I would be seriously interested in asking Todd 
about a 1.25" rotor upgrade. I know that Josh might have gotten some 
sort of similar setup. There is a huge problem with caliper clearance 
but I think that Todd was able to figure something out...

The .81 rotors are just sooo tiny...
