  Feh, I'm married and poor! Still managed to do the swap to 9.4" vents with 
new rotors, rebuilt calipers and SS lines, only the carriers are from the 
yard. Of course to be able to afford this it took a few months to buy the 
seperate parts at a time.  If you plan on going for either the 10" or 9.4", 
drop me a line and I'll source the carriers for ya.

  Hmm, how could I describe this... since I didn't measure pedal travel 
before and after the swap, I can say for sure that there is a difference in 
how far I have to put the pedal down before the binders grab, and tight. It 
takes much less effort to make the car stop quickly.
