I think you are confusing what I am saying, that's all.

yeah, avoiding brake fade would be the primary reason

2nd..... more surface area = shorter stopping distance (n/m)

BooZted (soon supercharged)
17:27:01 02/05/04
Wrong. More surface area = more braking torque to the rotor

Wrong. When the brakes fade, you are no longer limited
