Two particularly relevant passages:
[quote]One manufacturer has claimed that shorter stopping distances result from increased thermal capacity. Greater thermal capacity and increased cooling inherent with larger rotors (assuming technologies for cooling such as vane design remain equivalent) should reduce the maximum temperature reached by the rotor, whether in a single stop or in a series of stops. This may prevent the brake system from exceeding the maximum operating temperature of the brake pad when it otherwise would have. At that point, the increase in stopping distance caused by pad fade will be avoided, but there is no reason that a vehicle
