perhaps I'm missing it in the deleted posts on the other thread, but I thought that Charlie said he intends to use his motor/car for high RPM (9K) and track use....meaning that the clearancing was necessary?

As a point of personal education, what is the possible downside to clearancing rotors for a street car? Possible side seal wear?
