The carrera 3.2 front rotors weigh ~13% more than the previous fronts and have ~20% more volume. Both increase the ability to convert KE to heat then dissipate it while keeping temperatures at levels that don't hinder function.
To reduce the thermal stress on brakes; lighten the car, increase convective cooling, increase temperature red lines
