Default Scratched Rotors...

So I knew my front brake pads were low, but recently started feeling scratching when I stepped on the brakes. Curious, I looked at the front rotors and they have some pretty bad scratches around the outer lip, dammit. I am taking the car to a shop tmrw to see if they can be salvaged.

If not, I was thinking of upgrading the fronts. I was thinking of getting the Bullitt calipers from here: http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/pr..._id=689cPath=6 bc thats the cheapest place I found them. Now for 13" rotors, anyone have any suggestions for where to get them? Also, what other install stuff do I need, like lines, etc... Thanks for the help guys

people generally do the lines at the same time because they only want to bleed the brakes once, however IIRC your stockers will work fine. do the calipers come with pads?

autozone sells cobra rotors for $45 each.

So the caliper seized and warped the rotor, so I'm replacing the front system. The guy at the shop told me that he would piece together a 11.65" front setup, but last time i checked that size is for the cobra rear brakes. Fronts are 13" only am I right?

Yep, he just called me back to apologize. Looks like I am going with this 13" setup:

Rotors: http://www.speedconcepts.net/product...roducts_id=787
Loaded Calipers: http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/pr..._id=689cPath=6
Lines: http://www.speedconcepts.net/product...roducts_id=232

Total Cost is roughly $408. What do you guys think?
