    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    I have two Mark VIII's now. Going to do some fun things with Dad's Mark VIII. Bought a set set of cougar wheels, 17 in, on the cheap from a kid in Mooresvile, NC.

    New Rotor brand check them out

    Thanks for the link to the white paper. Interesting reading. I may not actually need new rotors(?). I'll have to look at them and the pads. I have a very noticeable shimmy with moderate to hard braking. I'll have to take a look at my own records. I believe I changed pads (?) in the last 38 K...

    New Rotor brand check them out

    I need new rotors/pads for my Mark. It is serving as my DD now. I don't really need HP stuff but I also don't want cheap stuff either...suggestions on some good quality rotors for both front and back would be appreciated! I may feel energetic enough to do the work myself! Thanks!
