How beefy are the rotors? What type of cooling fins do they use? With names like "superlite" and "narrow" I just wanted some feedback on whether they would handle a track pad for race days. Some forum members suggest that under abuse they warp like a floppy tortilla... but I find that unlikely.
The rotors are fairly beefy. I don't see how they would warp very easily on track.

AP Sprint vs. Wilwood vs. Stock vs. DBA T2



Caliper = 4.6 lbs.


Pads = 1.9 lbs.


Rotor Hat = 1.7 lbs.


Rotor = 12.6 lbs.


Hat and Rotor = 14.4 lbs.


Rotor, hat, and hardware = 14.7 lbs.


Caliper mount = 1.5 lbs.


Total system weight = 22.7 lbs.
