Unless you are racing, you don't need the huge rotors with six pot aluminum calipers.
Actually, IMHO, the braking system on the CSVT is it's weakest point. Now, as far as this thread has been going, it's been about the lock-up point and threshold braking. I think braking performance is best determined by the ability to provide fade-free stops consistently. I think Roger and I have discussed this before, but even though the Big rotor kits weigh more, the increased surface area and heat dissipation are more helpful in providing less fade. And as far as drilling/slotting...better off without it. And that's my $.02
