...back there, so cooling has to be better just to keep up. Of course, that means the front brakes are doing less work and they can cool off better.

I don't expect to notice a difference in braking performance, though. I needed new rotors, and S8 rotors were an incrementally more expensive option (money-wise
). Also, the S8 rotors are better are protecting the rear bearings from heat (seems there are a lot of rear bearing failures lately). Besides, it's fun
.
I think a slightly higher rearward bias might eventually make sense if I lower the car, but again, this upgrade's primary motivations didn't include better braking performance.
I'll post impressions after a week or so, if I have any.
