I do know that European cars tend to have less meaty, thinner rotors that are not turnable (less unsprung weight).

I was impressed at a tire shop in Atlanta where there were no pneumatic wrenches in the tire installation area. The manager told me that they had to buy a Jaguar owner four new rotors ($$$$ at the time) because of warping caused by overtorquing of the lug bolts. This is why I remove and mount my tires myself here.
