Absolutely agree. I personally use Brembo rotors (OEM on Porsche and 
others), but Brembo doesn't make one that specifically fits the Pantera. So you 
need a hat-adapter and its hardware, plus some machining to make Brembos fit 
our rear hubs. The vendors have this all figured out so you don't reinvent 
the wheel, so-to-speak. And FWIW, mixing BRANDS of rotors on a car can also 
cause problems because each batch of cast iron has its own coefficient of 
friction. A single brand-new rotor in front can make the brakes pull to one side 
due to this phenomenon. Some shops won't replace just one rotor, on either 
end of a car. My 2¢- J Deryke
