Must be something in the air...
Nearly every board I read has major flame wars erupting. Spring fever, maybe. Experienced people are leaving the public internet forums in fairly large numbers because of the stupidity of a few.
This particular forum hasn't had too much of it, and I tend to think it's because we're a small community.
Nobody asked, but I'll offer this: think before you post. Will the post benefit the majority of readers? If you have a beef with somebody, take it to PMs or email. I can't imagine anybody enjoys reading flame wars.
If you see obviously wrong info, offer the solution without ripping off somebody's head. If you believe it's wrong info, offer something to back it up, not just "that's a buch of BS". That line of thinking is why there's so much info that's wrong out there concerning IIs to start with.
We're all humans, so there are bound to be differences in opinion. That's why this type of forum exists in the first place, to share info and ideas.
Now, to get back to the topic at hand, zwhitr is right, you can redrill the front rotors and use the OE brakes. The streetrod guys also have 5-lug stock replacement rotors readily available. I didn't mention it before, because
in my opinion, if you're going to add rotating mass in the form of larger/heavier wheels/tires, the Granada brake upgrade is a good idea from a safety standpoint. On my own car, I have redrilled OE rotors, but it was done in 1984, long before the 5-lug aftermarket rotors were available. The Granada "upgrade" (Wart hates that word)
is on the list. In the meantime, since I am the only one that drives the car, and I'm old and don't raise he11 too much, the OE setup is working.
And for the few who
do enjoy flame wars, check out realoldspower.com. Couple of real idiots in there, along with at least 2 posters that have never posted an on-topic post in the 3 months I've been reading it.
