RE: BRAKE Question - 10.1 or 11 on a mk1?

Valid point.  Motorcyles have tried this concept by moving a smaller lighter
rotor to the edge of the wheel.  The issue with them is overcoming the
gyroscopic effect.

I believe since the 11" brakes are mounted farther out than 10.1's,
the braking power will be increased - even with the same clamping area
and force on the pads...
