[Diy_efi] OT: crappy ford expedition rotors?

[Justin Albury]

Yeh sad isnt it!!!!  gone are the days of long lasting brake rotors.  This is
the same in Australia .....and no sizes cast into rotors any more, all specs are
in service books.. but in OZ ya cam pick up a good set of cross drilled and
sloted rotors for not all that more than std.
