Work fine. But we don't get that much winter in Oklahoma.
I have had them to Colorado Springs in the deep cold and they
worked just like brakes are supposed to. Somtimes a bit grabby
when I first start out and it's humid or just rained. But draggin
the brakes a few yards (to warm them a bit) clears it up.
The key to good brakes is bedding them in properly. The howto
comes with most discs. I think it's also posted on the stillen
website.

Slalom, only on skis.
I'm just looking for good quality rotors and pads. performance, noise,
etc.
Just look at the site, plug in 1997 Jeep Truck. And there's actually a
specific model for me; TJ (Canada). First time I see this. Anyway, they
got no rotors. Any other suggestions?
