[s-cars] Brake Rotor with Big Reds

[Greg Johnson]

Some of you may recall that we (BIRA) created "replirotors" very early
on.  Replirotors were Coleman rotors with BIRA hats that replicated
the dimensions of the available Audi rotors.  They were mainly created
to allow Porsche calipers to fit over four bolt Audis.  Our experience
was similar to Haps: Coleman rotors warped too soon.

Everyone has a claim/opinion as to whether slots are better than
drilled and so forth.  Here's a data point to add to the mix.  Porsche
spends about $10 million a year on braking system R&D and it continues
to put drilled rotors on all of its street and race cars.

Many of you have heard me say this before: if it's good enough for
Porsche, it's good enough for me.
