There is that, and there are also the idiots who every thirty seconds or so have to hit their brakes to adjust speed. What happened to letting off the throttle?

Think is when youre in a lot of traffic, trying to get somewhere fast, and then are doing this over and over because the traffic cluster keeps going up and down in speed.

More thermal mass means lower brake temperatures, better overall retained capacity, lower heat loading on the bearings, etc.

There is a reason why even buying a cheap car today we see vented rotors on the front axle (at least). If they could save a few bucks and a few pounds of unsprung weight, dont you think hyundai and the rest would be doing so on the small cars?
