KH Discs vs 73+ Discs
Okay so I'm a bit slow on the uptake of this discussion.
My understanding is
* KH setup = FIXED type
* 73+ setup = FLOATING type.
Having ridden sport bikes I can tell you that most if not all come with "multi pot" fixed calipers and semi floating rotors for street and full floating rotors for the track.
The primary performance benefit of the fixed type is pressure equalization from the "multi pot" calipers (reduced warping and light weight rotors) and self centering (reduced drag) from the floating rotors.
If I apply that logic to cars wouldn't it stand true that the fixed caliper (KH) with multi pistons be preferred over the floating type (73+) as a performance option.
Presuming the discussion is not about TCO ($$$) of the setup
Also, I think we are saying that the floating Caliper has pad wear issues in that the pad on the side closest to the piston wear sooner than the outside pad causing uneven wear.

Not to be a wise *** but when I hear 4 piston caliper from 68 - 72, I think performance way ahead of it time especially when this type of configuration is preferred perfomance stopping setup today.
What am I missing?
