As far as the coilover, adjustability is really what I'm looking for there. I'd really like to be able to loosen and tighten the ride depending on conditions. It will save you a few pounds as well. The 8lb skinnies are for weight loss.

You can get the stock rotor/hub redrilled. This is what Blacksheep did for his skinnies up front. Only problem is finding a machine shop that can do it properly.

Will do. I've been asking around a few shops here locally. I have to remove one and take it to them to see what they can do with it.

acey Machine here in Jackson will do them.
They are good an d pretty reasonable. They were the ones that re did my motor.

If its just going to be at the track then you "can" use the adaptors I dont know if I would but I have seen lots of people do it.
