Brembo Performance Rotors

 

Need high performance rotors?


Cross-drilled and slotted rotors available from Race Concepts


Rating scale is from 1 to 10. Low being 1 high being 10

Rating: 9.3
With proper care and maintenance these rotors will provide increased performance. As with any rotor, the key is properly breaking them in, or heat cycling them. Click Here For Seasoning Instructions.

Fit: 10
The fit of these rotors is exactly that of the OEM. No issues of any kind arose during either installation or use. Click Here For Installation Instructions.

These rotors were manufactured with an emphasis on tight tolerances where appropriate, namely the rotor thickness, Other aspects were not as tightly controlled, i.e. errors in the concentricity of machined cross drilled ventilation holes and the cast chamfers were readily apparent to the naked eye. These imperfections however are not indicative of a defective product or design but rather indicate an intent to apply manufacturing costs only where they will benefit the performance of the rotor. (Special thanks to C. Dean Preston for the technical review)
As a side note, if your rotors are readily visible after installation, you should paint the non-contact area of the rotors. Click Here For Instructions.

What advantages do drilled and slotted rotors have? The most notable is they have an increased surface area to allow better cooling. Other advantages include lower rotational mass, better off-gassing properties, and increased wet performance. Do they run cooler? Yes! Based on the average of several controlled data samples these rotors run on average 82º cooler in the front and 27º cooler in the rear. The downside to drilled and slotted rotors, other than cost, is they are more prone to warp if not torqued correctly. They can also make a slight whirling noise during hard breaking.

Note: I will publish any issues as they arise.
