Brembo Brake Rotors

Brembo brake rotors use high carbon cast iron which guarantees top performance and less noise due to a higher damping coefficient. This is because Brembo actually develops and manufactures its entire range of brake rotors in its own factories at very high quality standards ensured by stringent checks on the whole production process.

Brembo's Factory Replacement Brake Rotors feature:

• Electronic balancing system eliminates any possible difference in the weight split of vented rotors, avoiding vibration risks.

• Precise finish of the braking surface, ground or fine turned depending on OE specifications, ensures improved pad-rotor fit and better running-in.

• Perfectly uniform thickness of the braking surfaces ensures top performance, maximum comfort and much higher durability of the components.

• Extremely precise tolerance guarantees correct run-out values and the elimination of several types of disc vibrations.

With Brembo Sport rotors you can find both a performance solution combined with an appealing aesthetic application. The Sport Brake Systems is made of a 1-piece drilled or solid vented rotors according to your original manufacturers requirements.

Both drilled holes and slots improve braking consistency, continuously cleaning and refreshing the pad surface. These slots or drilling provide a path to disperse built-up heat and gasses that result from pads acting on the rotors, as well as help to clean and refresh the pad surface.

Both help in interrupting the water film in wet driving conditions, improving the brake response; this effect is more sensitive on cross-drilled discs owing to the different full/empty ratio of the surface and the possibility to have water flowing through the holes in the ventilation gap (on vented discs).

On the other hand, where extreme friction level is required, the adoption of a highly aggressive pad such as in racing applications is necessary and slots are the right solution: being the slots not all through the disc thickness, the overall mechanical resistance of the disc is higher. Additionally, all of Brembo’s slotted discs are directional: the discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first.
