Well i think the bells basically allow the rotors to become floating which gives it a bit of movement that would help prevent warping. They would also be lighter i would imagine as most bells are alloy.

not quite true, yes ya cabn get floating bells, there very noisey though

ya can also get steel bells but due to the not being much more ya better off getting alloy bells

the advantages are theres les chance of warping and also the companys tend to make em better due to priceso theres less chance of warping

oh and as there seperate to the bell there also cheeper to repair as ya just swop the rotor not the bell aswell

its heat that warps em and when there seperate it reduces it
