    Killer price.
    Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

    IMHO semi-metallic as rotors are probably more expensive...

      Well, ended up with the carbon/kevlar ones after researching it. Apparently our rotors are pretty tough anyway.

        The Kevlar pads should be quieter than the metalic, wear out faster though. YMMV
