go look at your car or any car. This is also how known issue start. People make mistake and lead others to think its an issue.
Don't worry, it will take way more than that to wear those bearings out!
People run 1" spacers on some applications and put Thousands of miles with them.
Bearings are OK.
On road racing applications, it would prolly be a different story...

If you don't want to upgrade to GT rotors and just simply want to replace your stock sixxer parts, get some Brembo oem replacement rotors. http://www.mossmuscle.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=71084

They are reasonably priced and Brembo is known for making top of the line brake parts. Otherwise you can go to your local autoparts store and see what they have. They may even be able to cut your rotors on a brake lathe if they have one.

I don't know if they are exactly the same as the rotors that came stock from Ford, although many companies do use Brembo parts as original equipment on their cars. Those Brembos in the link fit like oem though and are meant to be a direct replacement for the stock rotors. Even if they are not the exact rotors Ford used, I would not hesitate to buy them. Brembo makes top quality parts.

Well it seems odd if they are because the stock brakes suck IMO.

Question for people that have done this swap: If I were to buy the kit on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Musta...4959QQtcZphoto

Would I be able to take the brackets off of these calipers and put them on my stang? I don't need to change the calipers but this set comes with them but I heard the brackets have one time use bolts and didn't know if could take them off and use them.
