The thicker surface area of the 5x5/1.25" thick style rotor is less prone to warping vs. the thinner 5x5/1.00" Lt.Duty rotors. The warping is usually evident in heavier vehicles or those that see harder than normal use (think performance vs. basic passenger transportation).

It also has a lot to do w/factory rotors vs. an aftermarket supplier as not all parts are created equal.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
