^^^^^ Chad but this is what I am talking about. Running larger calipers and better calipers, not exactly for the initial brake torque and bite as we all know upgrading calipers and rotors does not do that, only pads. But to increase the life, safety and heat and stress of the system.
Chad if you were offered a Wilwood 4-pot setup with 2-piece rotors, a set of track pads, and a set of street pads for 400 dollars. Would you say no? Hell no, but now my replacement rotors will be only replacing the rotor, not the hat and so I have saved money and saved weight. I can tell you for a fact that I warped my stock rotors within one 30 minute session of hyperfest. If a set of rotors can last me a year with racing and daily duty, then it is worth the cost.
And yes for these rotors because I will be using track duty on them, I will not be running drilled, but I beleive I cant get blanks, so slotted will have to do...I dont know ill have to check.
Bigger is better I always say for street tires, when you start talking about DOT race tires, yes I do agree that there is a proper size. However, I will not be running them, so bigger is better for me.
