This can be very important under some circumstances, like a sprint race in a kart. For the street, this is useless, but they have their place.

Absolutely pointless and a waste of money - only high school kids will think it's cool. So what is this catastrophic brake failure you are talking about... I would really like to know.

And have you seen the results from a cracked rotor? In the wall (or car, truck, etc.) you go. '98 SVT Red/midnight blue - a few mods E0 wheels for sale - PM me
