Teddy, just curious if you or Taka have any thoughts or opinions on
RacingBrake's two piece rotor/hat design?

	http://www.racingbrake.com/main/technology.asp 

They seem to have a pretty unique hat mounting system and slotting design
for which they make a lot of claims.

FWLIW, I concur.  If you're planning on doing track, the extra 2mm in the
322x32mm Porsche 993tt rotors is well worth the extra costs of those setups.
This is a case of Pound (as in English £) wise, penny, ¢, foolish IMO.
