[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 10504054, member: 6247"] The weight savings [B]IS[/B] the benefit. Anyone that is performance oriented will look for ways to reduce weight. And the most important and beneficial weight to reduce is unsprung weight and rotating mass. That is why people spend $300-$2,000 and more per wheel to reduce their E.T. slips or lap times. It's [B]VERY[/B] important weight to reduce. This doesn't matter if you're a drag racer or a road racer. Weight reduction is your friend and weight is the enemy. Actually quite the opposite is true. Cast iron is a very unforgiving material. If you've ever seen cast iron rotor failures from excessive loads on spindles and hubs, it can be pretty ugly. The rotor can develop circumferential stress cracks that, if not caught early enough, can crack the rotor ring right off of the rotor hub. The aluminum hat eliminates that type of a failure. Hope that helps. :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
