Message	How does a bigger rotor with the *stock* caliper and *stock* size pads stop and better?? I would think that the rotational mass of the bigger rotor would make it harder to bite on and slow down with a caliper and pad designed for a smaller rotor. Now I can see how on a track the larger rotor might help with brake fade but I just don't get how a larger rotor using the *stock* caliper and pads will make it stop better.
