|   8" rotors on my AC1 | NATSU
Nov 19, 2002 9:08 PM | | Hi,
Lately I've been thinking about putting 8" rotors on my AC1. It currently has the stock 6" Hayes but see more and more people with 8" rotors on both the front and back. After reading some of the posts, and from experience, I realized that my riding style does not warrant larger disks but given the coolness factor and money not being a problem, should I still upgrade? Maybe just the front? What are the pros and cons of installing larger rotors? Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks! |

If money is not an option, go with both otherwise, just do the front. I didn't really notice any difference between the 8" rear over the 6" rear.

I don't seem to have a problem with my brakes squealing but notice that my rear rotor seems to warp quite a bit. I have to get my trusty adjustable wrench and true them about once every couple of weeks. No problem ever with the front. Do you think that larger rotors will warp more that the 6" rotors? I am thinking about just doing the front now.
Thanks! |

Maybe someone else has and answer. I'd also like to know.
