What are the advantages of swimming front disks and the difference between alloy and steel, apart from weight.

Alloy brakes ?? I hope your not using such things. Choices are normally between Steel and Iron and either fully floating, semi floating or solid. Iron discs offer better friction/stopping power and the fully floating variety are less prone to warpage.
