Do you think the MoCo gave you too much for your money?

Just my , but I would rather have the stopping power and capability than the looks. Granted, it looks cool, but cannot be as safe.......

This is a pic of my SG with the right rotor removed. I lost some braking power, but it's not as bad as some would have you believe.

+1 on that solution. realy cleans up the area on the wheel where the old rotor bolted on. he even cut down an old rotor to the same diameter as his spacer, and polished the edge for me to fill in the gap. super clean now.
