Have to wait on some GXP brake hoses to be shipped to me before I do my conversion. Thought I couldn't wait a week!!

I had decent brake pads, then spent two hours going less than five miles per hour in traffic. Drove home with my front wheels sounding like a snowplow. Next day, I needed pads, rotors, and a caliper.

got to save the rotors? If you waited a bit longer would be a cool anodize blue. Is that a duralast box.
