the fronts should wear more quickly than the rears..
the larger majority of the braking force is in the front.
with the cross drilled rotors, unless you go to harder pads...
the pads are going to wear much more quickly as well.

Subject: Brake Rotor Suggestion
Not that it was a big savings, but I thought I'd mention, for anyone else
that's interested that I purchased a set of cross-drilled rotors for the
spitfire for $172.00 from Spit Bits. (Moss wanted $180.00 for a set.)
Is it my imagination or does it seem that the front rotors wear out at
about twice as fast a rate as the rear drums?
Also, how difficult is it to modify the rear wheels to disk brakes?
