Slotted Rotors
Slotted rotors are great for track as well as performance street driving, and are
designed to heat up your pads quickly for optimum breaking performance, without
removing surface area for the pads to contact. In the
slotted rotors, slots wipe the surface of the rotor forcing the gases to
expel through the slots. The slots also greatly improve wet weather braking by preventing
hydroplaning between the pad and rotor.
It?s a fact that venting the gas emitted by hot brake pads improves overall brake performance and helps minimize fade.
At one time the conventional wisdom in racing circles was to cross-drill brake rotors to aid cooling
and eliminate the gas emitted by brake pads. However, today?s elite teams in open
wheel, Indy and Trans Am racing are moving away from
cross-drilled brake rotors in favor of rotors modified with a fatigue resistant
slotting process.
Brembo Slotted Rotors
Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors
are for drivers who want to improve the looks and performance of their vehicle?s
original braking system without having to change additional brake components. Brembo
Sport slotted brake rotors provide excellent stopping power in everyday traffic,
as well as high performance street and track driving. Brembo Sport slotted brake
rotors meet the challenges of high performance street driving while adding an authentic,
race-ready look.
Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors
match the vehicle?s original equipment rotor?s dimensions and are fully compatible
with its hubs, brake calipers and road wheels. Front and rear Brembo Sport slotted
brake rotors are available to provide a matched appearance on all four corners of
the vehicle, and employ one-piece vented or solid rotors depending on the vehicle?s
original equipment specifications.
How the Brembo Slotted Rotors work
Starting with select castings, Brembo
Sport slotted brake rotors undergo the race-born practice of machining multiple
shallow slots into the disc?s front and rear surfaces to provide paths to disperse
built-up heat and gasses, and assist in refreshing the surface of the brake pads.
Compared to cross-drilled rotors, machined slots have been widely adopted for racing
and street use because they minimize the cracking caused by repeated, high stress,
high temperature brake applications. The slots are angled to use the rotors? direction
of rotation to enhance their performance, which makes the rotors side-specific with
left and right side rotors.
Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors
are sold in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install
the rotors on the side of the vehicle that results in the end of the slot` nearest
the pads first.
Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors
are coated for corrosion resistance to help eliminate rust and offer a bold, aggressive
appearance to enhance the look of the vehicle?s road wheels.
The slots on Brembo performance rotors
are machined to the minimum thickness. This is done to insure that the rotor strength
is not compromised, keeping safety and reliability in mind for virtually all automotive
cars and trucks. This is a bolt-on, hassle free way to greatly improve your stopping
performance. kage for weekend
racing, Brembo has the systems best engineered to meet your needs.
