Front rotor
Just wondering what the BIG difference is between the front rotors that "float" (stock H series) and a solid rotor (fixed, no float). Pros and cons?

A rigid rotor has less flex, obviously, so therefore supposedly more uneven brake pad wear and less efficient braking power. A floating rotor is able to move just a bit and self aligns better with the brake pads which increases pad life and theoretically more consistent braking.
Personally, I have never noticed a difference.

If you ever upgrade to a different rotor like galfer, or even the tusk you will feel a difference in stopping power!
