[Shotimes] my 89 SHO Sr 72 update

[Donelson Don]

I could be wrong but i gave this a lot of thought ... i think with a much lighter car that the 96 brakes will work fine.

I might get the race shop that made my original 10 " design directional grooved race rotors  and make them for the 96 system. Anyone ( don mallison) will swear by that set up.

One restriction I have is my rims and tires. 16 inch.
