| "out" relative to the wheel hub - this forces the issue of having to run large spacers on top of needing 17"+ wheels the clear. Secondly the center bore is too big so it needs to be resized using a hub ring typically used when installing aftermarket wheels (not really a ideal solution). Finally the Cobra rotors are actually narrower then our stock rotors so the pistons & calipers will have a bit more range of motion. The only thing the Cobra rotor has going for it is the lug pattern (which can easlily be changed if you are looking at another rotor) and its "cheap". However the results a less then ideal - and even less then what I would consider safe or ready for prime time. Take a look @ some of the kits that Chip sells if you are looking for a budget/performace upgrade for brakes - his rotor choices are based far more in correct "form and fit" for the application with VERY nice hardware adapters (I've worked with some in person), rather then just driven by cheapness. You'll be a lot happier w. the results and more confident in it's performance.
