BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
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 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.
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 outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake 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. NOTE: Light Truck and SUV rotors with studs or bearings are uncoated.
Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are designed to meet the challenges of high performance street driving while adding an authentic, race-ready look.
NOTE: Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors can be used in conjunction with race compound brake pads on the track for drivers’ schools and lapping days.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Slotted, drilled or dimpled rotors offered as OEM replacements should not be considered appropriate for high-speed track use.
While grooved, drilled and slotted rotors offer an enhanced appearance and add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures that are produced on the racetrack. If they are used on the track, it is very important that the rotors be carefully inspected and should not be driven on if even minor signs of deterioration are seen. Note, too, that if any products are used on the track they are not warrantable.
Additional Information
Los discos de freno con ranuras Sport Brembo, fueron desarrollados para conductores que deseen mejorar la apariencia y rendimiento del sistema de frenos original, sin necesidad de cambiar otros componentes. Los discos Brembo Sport con ranuras ofrecen un excelente poder de frenado en el manejo diario, alto rendimiento en carretera o en circuito de competencia.
Los discos de freno con ranuras Sport Brembo tienen las mismas dimensiones que los discos de equipo original y son plenamente compatibles con sus mazas, mordazas/caliper y rines. Los frenos de disco con ranuras Sport Brembo son ofrecidos para ejes frontales o traseros y así asegurar un apariencia pareja en las cuatro ruedas. Además, son obtenibles en una pieza ventilada o sólida dependiendo de las especificaciones de Equipo Original (Origanl Equipment, OE, por sus siglas en inglés) del vehículo.
Primero se funde un metal especial y luego los discos con ranuras Brembo Sport, pasan sobre la práctica usual nacida de las competencias, que es crear múltiples ranuras no profundas en la superficie frontal y trasera para proveer caminos que dispersen la creación de gases y calor, refrescando la superficies de las pastillas. Comparado a los discos de frenos con agujeros, los discos con ranuras han sido ampliamente aceptados para uso en carreras o carreteras, ya que disminuyen el fraccionamiento producido por el estrés continuo y las altas temperaturas. Las ranuras son hechas de manera angular para utilizar la dirección de rotación del disco, lo cual mejorar su rendimiento, esta característica hace que el lado de instalación y uso del rotor sea específico, derecho o izquierdo. Los discos de frenos con ranuras Brembo Sport son vendidos en pares para cada eje.
Para asegurar el uso correcto instale los discos en el lado del vehículo, en el cual la ranura más cercana del borde externo del disco contacte la pastilla de freno primero (las cajas donde vienen los discos también están marcadas, R=right=derecho, L=left=izquierdo).
Los discos con ranuras Brembo Sport poseen una capa resistente a la corrosión que ayuda a eliminar el óxido, al mismo tiempo que mejora la apariencia del vehículo. NOTA: Discos para camiones ligeros y utilitarios deportivos con pernos y cojinetes no poseen la capa resistente a la corrosión.
El Brembo Sport con ranuras son fabricados para alcanzar los retos de un rendimiento efectivo sobre la carretera, a la vez que adicionan una apariencia: “listo para competir”.
NOTA: Los discos de frenos con ranuras Brembo Sport pueden ser utilizado conjuntamente con pastillas o tabletas con compuestos para carreras, ya sea en el circuito o la escuela de manejo.
IMPORTANTE: Discos con ranuras, agujeros o con hoyuelos ofrecidos como repuestos de Equipo Original de Fabrica, no deben ser considerados apropiados para uso en carreras.
A pesar de que los discos con agujeros o ranuras tienen la apariencia de competencia y pueden resistir ciertos gases que se forman entre las pastilla y el disco al frenar, estos no pueden aguantar la temperatura extrema que se alcanza en las carreras de circuito. Si son utilizados en carreras es muy importante que sean inspeccionados y de encontrarse rasgos de deterioro, no utilice el vehículo. Si estos productos son utilizados en carreras de pista o circuito perderán su garantía.

I have tried Hawk HPS and found that they take a fraction of a second to start to bite and then I ended up pushing a bit harder and stopping short. With the Brembo pads this does not happen they are there when I want them NOW very progressive and responsive only draw back is dust on wheels but for the performance I will live with that, these are a great buy will be buying again when I need more.

It doesn''t bite in as much as I expected on initial stopping, but when applied more force into the break pedal it would stop very fast. I did several runs testing the break for fading and I was surprised with its ability to stop after braking more than 10 times without allowing it to cool down at all. This system is a lot better than my old stock brakes.
