"they are much better design"

       Why do you think this?   I have to questioned this?
The older style brake pads can be changed without removing
the calipers.  They are 2 piston as opposed to single.
The rotors are bigger and can take more heat.  I think
the change was made to reduce cost of manufacturing.
Anyone else see it this way?
