It'll probably explode. You need to look for an AM-specific brake.

Should be ok, take it all witha pinch of salt...try it and see, if they cook, then, hey, change, if not, stay put....don't believe the hype...

Larger rotors - heat up less but you will have reduced modulation.

Give them a good bleed too and get some decent pads in. I found sintered pads were fine in the Alps in my XT brakes and didn't even get through a set of pads. I don't brake much though.
