Opposition to Larger Brake Rotors
#29462 from Jay Pistana · No action required · Minutes (2020-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The CRB reviewed the decision to increase the rotor diameter at length. The discussion concluded, as
many members indicated, that the current rotor size is sufficient. The tire size is the primary limiting factor currently. But review
of many of the current suppliers of “off the shelf” brakes, the current limitation of rotor diameter excluded many of the
available packages for the current cars. We recognize that some might be compelled to change their current brake systems, but
hope the majority of competitors running current specifications, and 16 inch wheels, recognize it is not necessary to change
their current hardware to be competitive. The primary objective of this change was to provide inexpensive options for
competitors that provide effective brake capacity and high durability.
