Now onto turn 2 the more airy less material rotor is cooling faster but it started at a higher temp in the first place. Now only turn 3 will show the winner as one will be hotter and will have more fade which means you need to brake later ultimately. Tracks will also differ a winner depending on braking zones etc. like a bike with sprockets, one setup doesn't work everywhere.

lol, truth is we dont know. but I love the rotors
I see both views. What I get told all the time by hard core track guys is that they go to a BBK not for extra stopping power, more for extra meat. Because they can get maybe 10 track days on OEM rotors, but since the BBKs have more meat they take more heat and may last 20 at best
