Makes sense. Not sure why I've never tried this. Next time I wlll.
The thing is that bigger rotors with better cooling to do fix the pad material buildup problem and don't require any change in behavior
The thing is that does
not fix the problem though.
It only masks the problem.
You'll still end up with 'warped' rotors because you're still not breaking them in correctly, and still not using them correctly... but it'll likely take longer for you to notice.
Same as with "My 30k mile tires wear out in 10k miles so I fixed it by buying 60k mile tires and now they last twice as long!" when the real problem is bad alignment. That's not a fix, it's a band aid- and why it's important to understand the root cause.
The same argument of "you don't need them unless you're going to the track" has been repeated but if you flip it around and say, I shouldn't need different brakes for a track day, then it makes sense why people are wondering about the brakes. I'm not talking about a track car, I'm talking about a track event of which I have seen middle aged women in their 5000 pound Audi A7s attend.
Well I think the answer there is money.... You build for what most people do with the vehicle.
Since 99% of any mass production cars won't ever see track use it makes no financial sense for car companies to put more expensive brakes on those cars by default since they won't make any difference to the user but increase the cost of the car....
Then you offer some sort of "brake upgrade" option from the factory- as Tesla is doing- for both that 1% who do track, and the larger number of people who don't know any better and think the $5000 upgrade will somehow make them stop better in normal driving.
And I agree they should offer that upgrade across
all versions of the car, not just the top version- so that folks who do want to enjoy an occasional track event, but don't want to spend 70k on the car to do it, can get that from the factory.
