Back a few years ago, we ran aluminum inboard rotors. NEVER did we have any problems but everyone stopped making them because of fatigue issues.
Can someone who has ran aluminum inboard rotors and had problems please tell me what kind of problems you were having.
We always liked ours, stopped great and we ran them for 35 nights without problems on a 1/4 mile track.

You get better braking from a titanium (or steel) rotor. Not from the metal, but from the brake pad material that gets built up on the rotor. For example a titanium rotor is coated to allow brake pad material itself to deposit onto it. In time, you end up with brake pad material running against brake pad material. As a result, better stopping power.
Aluminum is still used alot as a left front rotor.

Well maybe we're one of the few lucky one's then. I feel our aluminum rotor worked better than most of the steel one's we've ran.
