Well being floating 4 piston calipers I would hope that the hydraulics would 
balance the stresses involved in following a warped rotor.
It is a poor design that is for sure, I can see where the stress riser might 
be to cause this failure.

I am happy I went with the bira design for my upgrades as the don't seem to 
have the same stress problems

My 2 cents anyways
