[s-cars] Cracked Big Brake Brackets - ECS Stage 2

[Taka Mizutani]

Sean-
Thanks for the correction. Is it a _steel_ hat that comes with 993tt rotors?

Then we are still making things complicated by using an aluminum hat,
although nearly all of the aftermarket guys use aluminum hats- Racing Brake,
DBA, KVR, etc.

I'm considering getting Racing Brake 2-piece rotors for the STi- aluminum
hats, iron rotors, loses a good 4 lbs. over the stock rotors, costs about
the same as OEM rotors ($700).
