Paragon 2-Piece Front Rotors Pair – VW Golf R Mk8 / Audi S3 8Y (Larger Rotor) – 380 x 34mm

Upgrade your VW Golf R Mk8 or Audi S3 8Y with Paragon 2-Piece Front Rotors — precision-engineered for the MQB Evo platform with the factory large rotor package. These 380mm x 34mm rotors offer superior heat management, reduced unsprung weight, and track-proven durability — all with direct bolt-on compatibility.

Overview

Featuring directional cooling vanes, these rotors actively channel air through the core to reduce temperatures by up to 30% compared to OEM. The floating 2-piece design allows controlled thermal expansion while keeping the rotor centred and flat under load, ensuring consistent brake pad contact and reduced fade during aggressive use.

Key Features

• 380 x 34mm slotted front rotors with directional ventilation vanes
• Up to 30% better cooling efficiency than OEM
• Floating 2-piece design reduces heat distortion and fade
• CM-250 high-carbon alloy rotor rings – heat-treated and CBN-machined
• Precision tolerances: run-out ≤ 0.03mm; balance within 2 grams
• Slotted face improves pad bite and wet-weather braking

Construction

Rotor hats are CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard anodised. Weight is optimised by removing material from non-structural areas while preserving strength under high-stress applications.

Finish Options

• Clear Hard Anodised: Resists discolouration under track heat – ideal for motorsport
• Black Dyed Hardcoat: May discolour above 260°C – best for mixed or street use

Performance Benefits

• Improved fade resistance and braking consistency under repeated heavy braking
• Reduces rotor distortion and brake judder
• Enhances braking in both dry and wet conditions
• Lower unsprung mass improves handling and suspension response

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Golf R Mk8 – with factory large rotor package
• Audi S3 8Y – with factory large rotor package

Fitment Notes

• Direct bolt-on installation – no modifications required
• Maintains OEM brake bias and ABS functionality
• Compatible with OEM or aftermarket brake pads (same pad depth)
• Rotor-to-hat mount: D-Bobbin (Long), 10-bolt system
