Yes, they have aluminum hats. Just wish you would take it a step further and clarify the really important point where you said 1M was heavier and threw out the reversed number. Can you at least "clarify" that, please?
That way we can complety rule that out and we can focus on whether they weight the same?
There is a lot if misinformation out there. |
The 135i brakes are a clear example of where lighter doesn't necessarily mean better. 135i brakes are great for a street car, where this weight discussion matters little, but on track they overheat and their pistons crumble. They look a lot more performance oriented than they actually are.
