I have Strange on the rear of my Regal and they fit and work flawlessly. The most reasonable place I found them was Hanrahan performance, they adv. on racingjunk.com , I know that Todd G. had an issue with a leaky bleeder or 2 and had a poor cust svc experience with Strange, maybe he'll chime in on this. Overall, I think that for the money Strange's one piece rotor design combined with their low weight makes them a clear leader in the mid range kits. The Wilwood stuff is ok, but I am not a big fan of 2 piece rotors being held together with bolts....
I too like the 1 piece rotors. Very nice quality, work as expected...stops very well.
Just not pleased with how Stranges customer support handled my warranty issue.

LOOKS LIKE I NEED WILWOOD CUZ THE FRT END IS ART MORRISON STRUTS AND THEY ONLY USE WILWOOD i could use strange rear brakes but not sure which master cyl
anyone know what the pedal ratio is on a g body? art morrison says need about 7 to 1 to keep the pressure correct with a 1 1/8 bore
not sure on any of this anyone researched it?

on the wilwoods the bolts are drilled for safety wire.. that wouldn't put a scare in me at all... if they're wired correct.
if ya click the link up top in the sponsors Travis sell the wilwood master kit for the g-body which moves the rod higher on the pedal and gives it the correct ratio needed for a disc/disc setup.

ok not a math wizz here if the top hole which is the pivot point is 2 .25 from the master cly connection point and the center of the pedal is 14.5 inches from the pivot point what the heck is the ratio to old to tired

Did a lil research today still looking into this strange and wilwood said you want enough volume at a higher pressure to give a firm but not hard brake pedal
the above chart i found in art morrisons catolog talked to dave at art morrison he said with a 1 1/8 bore i'd want at least a 6.5 to 1 ratio or more to have a good pedal feel for all out race disc all around setup they use a 1" bore with a 6 or 7 to 1 pedal ratio
so i may be selling my 1 1/8" bore new master cylinder not sure yet

travis said the stock pedal ratio is four to 1 his kit is a 1 1/16 wilwood #260-4893 puts the pressure a lil low about 682 if my math is right not saying this chart is 100% just going by what info i've found so far
