Re: [T3] Vented Front Disc Brakes

<x-flowed>Jimbo,
        The company that makes the setup has machined spacers for the 
calipers to widen the space between the brake pads so that you can use the 
vented rotors.  I also read on the ad that this increases track width by 
5mm per side which is a small amount for the increased fade resistance that 
you will receive with these brakes.
