[DeTomaso] Pantera Parts Connection Rotors - opinions?

[Brent Stewart]

Thanks Julian.

GD7173 are the "Sport Rotors" (slotted / dimpled).  These are the ones I was hoping would be non-hub.

UPR7173 are "Stock Replacement" rotors. When I spoke to them today, they said these definitely had the hub

Sounds like EBC is a "no go" :-(

The EBC upgraded rotors UPR7173 are a special order drop ship item from Summit, so I was not able to verify those.

They did have one set of the EBC GD7173 on hand and as soon as the counter guy carried the box out it became fairly evident they would be the all iin one hub/rotor design and on opening the box they were.
