I wish someone closer to me had these installed so I could do a “test fit” of my wheels on there before buying.

PS…. You need to change your username to ORANGE Rider and get a rebel flag painted on the roof of that car.
And don’t forget the horn that plays Dixie.
aka… The General Lee

the suspension was only for 3 monthsBUT, once it transferred to California DMV, my points added up to 4 in less than 12 months. So, california DMV suspended my license for 6 months. it's only been 1 month of that so far.
plus, my CL will be gone very soon anyway.
i won't have a car, but i'll definately ride along with somebody from around here
i wouldn't miss the meets for anything.

BOY was this meet FUN!!!!!!!
to RedRiders Ride!!!!!
As far as the battery issue, I think Scalbert posted that if you
take the ice box out, you could slide the battery out without
having to remove the blower. I'm not 100% on this, but I do
remeber something like it!!

I like to think of my Rotoras as Brembos with a thousand dollar rebate

Now since you are the brake expert, what Hi Performace Pads to get? The EBS Green Stuff, I heard dust too much and the dust is -dark-spot-ugly.
What are the options for stock replacement for fronts and rears:
1) Axis Utlimate
2) Hawk Street
Please suggest?

By the way after over 100 miles in the twisties yesterday here are my impressions of both. Combined, outstanding. There isn't massive extra H.P. but it's substantial and very noticeable and incredibly smooth in the power delivery, you notice the difference especially lower in the rpm range. I could feel it exiting corners especially. The whine is not really loud but it sounds cool, TypeSDragoon had his digital video cam going as we freakin ripped through these back roads and you'll be able to hear for yourself when he posts. The brakes are AWESOME !! We drove harder and faster than we ever had, and several guys indicated their brakes were going bye bye. I was able to rip through those corners faster than ever because of these brakes. No fade that i could feel, when we ended the run i was way ahead because of them and they were literally smokin !! I highly recommend them One last thing, thanks to TypeSDragoon for ridin with me, he told me nothing i did would scare him, i tried my best but he was way cool, thanks Jeff/Bob and all my S.F. and SacTown Bros who rock the backroads !!

Question: With the Rotora brakes, do you use CL-S size pads or do you need to use a special size to go with the new caliper. More simply, when you buy new pads, do you buy pads made for the stock CL-S caliper or pads made for the Rotora caliper?
Thanks,
