Smoothness…..if you have judders during regular braking, you highly likely have pad deposits on your rotor. Be light on the brake pedals at stop light on hot days.

For commuting, you won’t feel shxt spending that money. For your use, objectively, at the most, I would switch out to a slightly sportier pad that has better bites and heat tolerance for that one-time emergency stop on the interstate (but will get way more brake dust thro).

Functionally, I don’t see the need for any upgrades.

pretty sure OP is asking about steel vs iron rotors in regards to reducing unsprung weight.

sort of an interesting subject if you want to do some reading, but irrelevant for the use case described here.

If you weight lightweight. Get carbon/carbon brake set up. Hope you're a trust fund baby.
