sorry, but I call BS on that. With the stock calipers, I boil my brake fluid in 20 minutes at one particular track, with the 6 piston brembos and stock rotors, I can do in excess of 25 minutes with no problems. Since switching to the brembos, all temperature problems have been eliminated. What performance advantage does your extra .25" of rotor size really give?
