WHAT IS A “NON-FLOATING” ROTOR?
A non-floater is the traditional type of rotor, and its operation is pretty self explanatory. It does not move independently from its mounting flange or hub. When the spindle or strut flexes under severe conditions, the rotor moves right along with it, allowing it to become slightly cocked relative to the brake pad. This promotes small amounts of pad taper and a hotter running brake rotor. However, this is the recommended rotor for the street , or combination street / lite track car. It is still an excellent rotor because of the quality of the casting, the heat treating and shear heat sink mass.
