Are these a Tera-Flex only rotor? Can the rotor be turned or must it be replaced when worn down? Whats the min. wear thickness on the rotor, expected life span of the pads and rotors? Any ideas Tera-Flex?

I am assuming that TeraFlex (like the other companies working on this) are using a re-drilled Dodge Ram rotor. they may be using the Mopar version, or they may be using someone elses version, but it will most likely be a modified Ram rotor.

First off let me say we are sorry for the long delay on these brake kits. During the SEMA show we had enough people ask about the kit working with the stock jeep “Moab Edition” wheel that we decided that we better address that application. We changed the caliper casting to accomplish that application which delayed completion by months. A 17" or larger wheel is required. The caliper is interchangeable with a Dodge truck 2009 and newer. The main difference is that we have a slightly larger piston than the Dodge caliper. Our rotor is the same diameter as the Dodge but it has a different mounting surface to rotor surface than the Dodge. It is interchangeable with a production Diesel JK sold internationally but not in the USA. We make the rotor so supply will be easy and the price will always be good. The rotor is larger in diameter giving more braking leverage. We offer a slotted rotor also for people who think they want those. We also use a hi-performance formula in our disc pads for improved stopping power. The pads are the same fit as the 2009+ Dodge 1500 4x4 so replacement pads are easy to get. Whenever possible we try to make all wear part in our products easy off the shelf items for easy servicing. The bad news is that we are still two months away.

So what is the pre-order deal (price) ?
Also, I am running 17" AEV Pinter wheels any problems with the wheel and big brake kit ?
Ok found the price, what about fitment issues. Hate to shell out $500+ and have to grind on parts to fit......
