How does the friction area change?
We are talking about using the same calipers and simply increasing the rotor diameter?
I don't really think the E0 calipers and pads have a greater surface area than do the E1 (standard Contour front calipers) on larger rotors.
I'm curious what the stopping distances are on a V6 Contour and an SVT Contour.
Let me pop over to Edmunds and check these out for the 2000MY.
