Dave,

What an articulate and intellignet way you have for instruction. Just a thank you from one engineer to what I assume is another.

I was wondering what is the problem with the original rotors on the SRT-8's. My rotors looked like the pads had been driven down to the rivets at 6000 miles even though that wasn't the case. I have just assumed there was an issue with material composition, though the slots in the replacements pique my interest.

I just got the new rotors ~250 miles ago. Should have done it earlier, as I was past the 12K mark and had to pay for new pads, but they did give me the rotors at n/c. Would you recommend replacing the OE pads in the near term, and with what, or just run them till they need replacement?

I would like to get a more normal life from the brakes and reduced dusting would be nice (though that is already greatly improved with the new rotors).

Hans
