Brembo Xtra Brake Rotors are characterized by special drillings that combine the appealing aesthetic effect with brilliant performance and effective braking in a wide range of driving conditions. Developed by Brembo’s R&D department from experience in the racing world, each drilled pattern ensures a rotor brake surface that has high grip and an efficient, prompt response.
Features & Benefits:
Pad cleaning and regeneration - The holes produce a scraping effect that cleans the surface of the pad from hazardous material deposits
Wet brake performance - The holes serve to prevent water film from forming on the braking surface. Even when driving on slick roads, these rotors ensure the braking system responds effectively
Brake system cooling - The presence of holes leads to greater air circulation, resulting in improved heat dissipation capability and its increased performance
Installation Tips
Always replace Brake Pads and inspect Calipers and Brake Hoses when installing new rotors
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
After removing the old rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply Brake Lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
