Bruce, check with Porterfield if you opt for discs. Same deal at a $140
savings. They take OEM discs and drill in their facility for $50 each. I
was quoted $260 for a pair of fronts. FWIW, I've found that with
Stillen, anything they carry that can be found elsewhere is usually
cheaper elsewhere<g>. I did pop for some of their urethane stuff, but
man are they hurtin' in the documentation dept. Neither came with any
sort of instructions.

I too am hoping Stainless Steel Brakes comes up with a rear kit for the
DAK next month. Usually the SEMA show has all the new announcements.
