[Shotimes] WTB rotors for brake upgrade

[Ian Fisher]

I've heard more than once that the drilled vs cast
holes issue is a myth (ie, all rotors are drilled). I
dunno the truth but I seem to recall that Todd Cook
had something on his site asking for someone to prove
that rotors were cast with holes. I think it was Todd.
Either way, I just checked his site and couldn't find
that segment. Don't have much time to poke around as I
have a ton of parts to buy tonight. :(
