    May seem like a dumb question, but other than being labeled, how do you tell if a rotor is vented?

    thanks guys.

    I was asking about calipers in the other thread because I'm wondering if there will be anything left to turn the rotors after 130,000 miles.

    If not, then I was going to get fresh blank rotors, good aftermarket pads, flush & swap for steel lines, and paint the calipers.

    being ignorant, I read some of the threads to get educated. This seemed like a good deal since I wont be doing heavy track work: http://knsbrakes.com/productDetails.php?id=13638&car_id=782

    I work with Ken over at KNS frequently. He is always a pleasure to deal with. Those rotors, I forgot the brand name, should suit you well if all you are doing is highway cruising. What pads are you considering using?

    i havent decided. I'm very ignorant about pads.

    Since this is my high milage car, ergonomics will have to be the most important thing. In this case, quiet operation.

    Just ask Ken for whatever pairs best with these, budget wise. I am thinking posiquiets maybe?

    well, I was actually going to ask various vendors to put together a package for me and $ee what they come up with. But to do that, I needed to know what I didnt know about what I wanted.

    so literally. there is no DD benefit to fancy rotors, only racing thats got heavy repetitive braking?

    after vented, its just a matter of build quality?
