      Front, not really. Rear yes. But that was for me using Wilwood stuff. With the dozens of ways to upgrade brakes it is impossible to make a blanket statement. That is why there is not and will not be consensus on the matter.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      So what you are saying is that all rotors have a different hat thickness? I would guess aluminum hats are thicker, but wouldn't the average 11-13" stock style iron rotor be about the same material thickness?

      I would assume the drum on my car has to be about as thick as a 'typical' rotor hat, is it not?
