I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Considering the decrease in stopping power over what I'd be used to, should I bring up a lawsuit or some type of formal complaint against the Ford dealer that put the wrong rotors on? In my previous post labeled "Wrecks", I write out how I got in one. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=554494&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1 Apparently, the car doesn't stop too well in emergency situations anymore. 2000 Black Contour SVT
