Default Floating Rotors
Where did you get your floating rotors from and how much? Did you install the front and rear? Is it hard to do yourshelf?

Thanks for the input.

I have HD floating rotors on front. THey were right at $110 ea from Zanotti, if I recall correctly. If you have a lift, installation is a piece-o-cake!

Paid $88 each, Zanotti HD. Front is simple, better to wait for a tire/pad change on the rear.
