Kit Number:

• PBK.50.070.355.320.TL.01.0x.Px.F (355x32mm Rotor)

• PBK.50.070.380.320.TL.01.0x.Px.F (380x32mm Rotor)

Calipers

• Lightweight single-piece aluminium Mono-bloc design for optimum strength

• Staggered piston bore sizes for improved brake balance and even pad wear

• High stiffness (firm pedal)

• Pin-mounted pads provide low threshold pressure and minimize unwanted noises

• Features dust seals to improve durability and protection against debris / road salt

Rotors

• Floating 2-piece design allows thermal expansion of the rotor while minimizing deformation and ensuring the rotor is self-centered with the pads

• Superior braking and cooling efficiency

• Features directional ventilation vanes to create suction, turbulence, and guides cool air through the rotor for improved heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking

• Made of CM-250 special formulated high carbon alloy cast iron. Allows for an optimal bite, thermal characteristics, high-temperature strength, and durability

• Heat treated to release stress in the rotor to avoid deformation and vibration

• State-of-the-art CBN surface machining to ensure better break-in with new brake pads

• Excellent thermal capacity to minimize brake fade

Curved Directional Ventilation Vanes

Features 48 directional ventilation vanes to create suction and turbulence, and guide cool air through the rotor to achieve better heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking under harsh track conditions. Each rotor is left or right side specific, and the ventilation vanes are optimized to spin in a particular direction to pump the maximum amount of cool air through the rotor. This design allows the rotor to run up to 30% cooler than O.E. rotors and increases cooling efficiency by up to 30% over standard 1-piece units. Brake fade and judder are minimized during extended sessions. This means the brake system can withstand heavier track usage and provide consistent braking performance lap after lap.

Slotted Friction Face

Slotted rotor face pattern improves brake consistency by constantly cleaning the contact surface and dissipate heat generated, and gases released when the pads come into contact with the rotors. Slotted rotors have a superior advantage over blank rotors in wet or raining conditions by preventing water films to form between the brake pad and rotor surface.

Aluminum Hats

• CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum

• Unsprung weight reduction

• High strength and durability

• Black hard coat/hard anodized to increase resistance to wear and corrosion

Floating Bobbins & Mounting System

Utilizes T-Bobbin rotor to hat mounting system to allow "float" in both radial and axial directions, and minimize brake judder. The high quality stainless steel hardware are corrosion resistant which allows secure mounting, and smooth expansion and contraction throughout heat cycles. Anti wear clips (McLaren spring clips) are utilized to slightly pre-load the rotor assembly and minimize rattling noise.

Caliper Mounting Brackets

CNC machined caliper mounting brackets to ensure superior strength, durability, and secure mounting of calipers to knuckles.
