Thanks to everyone for their replies. Hearing that all I really need to upgrade are the 11" carriers brings me to a new bargaining point with the guy selling them. Of course, a set of good discs and good pads will be a few bucks, but it will be all worth it if I can find some carriers for $10 ea or so. Hmm...I wonder how much the dealer sells just the carriers for? Can't be TOO expensive (note the sarcasim)!
