I'll be replacing mine with two other types (another street setup and one track setup) and you can have the rotors if you want, after I get my new ones on! They got warped at Laguna Seca which was MY fault. I didn't check my lugnut torque throughout the day. Between the extreme heat and one nut having a slightly less torque than the rest, one rotor warped on my last session. Oh well! The pulsation is slight when I press on the brakes.

BTW, here's one of Ruslow's offroad brake kits

Mov'It (North America) They won't be making brakes for the Lightning. There was a possibility at one time, but the market is too small, so don't let the "Brake Application List" get you excited.
This would have been nice:
The one's I'll be getting are better though!

Well, while rotating my tires today, I figured I'd go ahead and paint the calipers. Here are before and after pix. I used Ford red from Dulpi-color engine paint. I HIGHLY recommend sanding the hell out of the fronts. The black paint from the factory is smooth. I had a couple of spots that didn't take the paint. The rears were very easy, just clean and paint.

For some reason, your pix don't work. Here's the link:
