phugitive Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Some calipers float some don't. If they have pistons on both sides they do not need to float. If they have pistons on one side then they float.Floating rotors let the part that contacts the pads expand when they get hot independent of the carrier making them less likely to crack.
