Little Trick on tuning up your full floating rotors

Not necessarily...I mean first of all if you keep your caliper pistons free of gunk they release completely after you let off the brake and second of all the free floating rotor will walk slightly in its carriers making them more likely to drag or contact a on a pad as you roll the wheel.

I think the only real reason is better more efficent braking.

If you want straight away speed and better handling the way to go is lighter rotors and wheels too if you can. Another parasitic loss to straightaway speed is with conventional wheel bearings. Most pros use ceramic coated and really slick wheel bearings to cut down friction...

Couldn't have picked a better time to drop that line.
