Anyone else have this kit or a different brake kit?

I was told (and researched it out to be true physics) that the further out from the center, there's more disc surface to be grabbed by the pads. . There's also more holding leverage (torque) as the pads grip further away from the center. This is the rationale behind the larger diameter rotors.
