I just got some basic question about after market brake rotors...
1) Can you install bigger rotors with the OE calipers, or does each rotor size require a specific caliper size?
2) what's the deal with aluminum rotors? They're much lighter so they drop your rotating mass by a bunch, but Al retains MUCH more heat than steel rotors....
so what's the best way to get bigger rotors on the car? I've seen some that have a yellow (brass or gold) hue...what are those made of...and can I get some that AREN'T colored that are lighter (I think that yellow color looks kinda cheesy).
