- Up to 30% cooler operation compared to OEM rotors
- Fully-floating 2-piece design accommodates thermal expansion
- CM-250 high-carbon cast iron rotor rings for bite and durability
- Stress-relieved and CBN-machined for vibration reduction and pad bed-in
- Rotor-to-hat run-out ≤ 0.03mm; dynamically balanced to within 2 grams
- Each rotor weighs 14.74 kg (32.5 lbs), saving approx. 1.27 kg (2.8 lbs) per side vs OEM
- Rotor-to-hat mount: D-Bobbin system with 10-bolt connection
Construction
Rotor Rings
Made from CM-250 high-carbon cast iron, these rotor rings deliver strong bite, thermal capacity, and resistance to cracking. Heat-treated to relieve stress and CBN-machined for flatness and vibration-free braking.
Aluminium Hats
Precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard anodised for corrosion resistance. Material is removed from non-critical areas for maximum weight savings without compromising strength.
Finish Options
- Clear Hard Anodised: Won’t discolour under high heat – ideal for track use
- Black Dyed Hardcoat: May discolour above 260°C – best for street applications
Compatibility
- Audi SQ7 4M
- Audi SQ7 4M.5 (Facelift)
- Audi SQ8 4M
- Audi SQ8 4M.5 (Facelift)
Fitment Notes
- Direct bolt-on installation – no modifications required
- Maintains OEM brake bias and full ABS functionality
- Compatible with OEM or aftermarket pads (same pad depth – D)
