replacing rotors advice please
I have a 2000 x V10 4x4. The rotors need replacing and I want something other than OEM (too much $ and I think aftermarkets are typically better). What and where can I find some good alternatives. Thanks

When I replace mine, I'll go with a set of these WITH the cryo-treatment option ...

I went with the ART's at 50K miles and glad I did. Biggest problem was bleeding the crud out of the brake lines. The driver's side rear looked like mud. The brakes are unrear in how fast they will bring that 8K beast to a stop. Performance is great with my 32' TT. Be ready to hammer the stock rotors off, they are a pain to get off, but a few hard wacks with a 5 lb sledge and off they come. Make sure to clean the plate before installing the new rotors. Anti-sieze will help for next time (maybe).
