Brake Rotors

Performance Brake Rotors

Every average driver knows you must perform a little routine maintenance to your vehicle. Every automotive enthusiast you must upgrade key components on your vehicle for better performance. High Performance Brake Rotors is one of those key components. Brake Rotors are what your brake pads clamp down on to get your vehicle to stop. OE Brake Rotors don’t perform well under aggressive use, high heat, and have longer stopping distance. Continuous rigorous use and heat will lead to your rotor warping. Glowing rotors may look cool in a photo, but the damage being done is not. High Performance Rotors, such as drilled or slotted rotors will allow heat and gasses to escape much more efficiently. In addition to better cooling, you will have shorter stopping distance as well. Lucky for you we have a large selection of High Performance Brake Rotors depending on your exact needs and budget.

Towing, off roading, track use, and daily driving will all have different needs. Its important to factor what you will be doing with your vehicle when making a decision on what type of High Performance Brake Rotor to go with. Your options will range from drilled rotors, slotted rotors, or large diameter. If that’s not what you’re looking for, have no fear – we carry many other types in our catalog so take a look! Sport Compact Warehouse is your premier source for High Performance Brake Rotors. Speak to a representative today to help you make a more informative decision.

The friction created during brake operation creates heat that must be dispersed to prevent brake fade and component damage. Disc brakes are a significant improvement over drum brakes because the exposed disc brake rotor cools much more easily than the enclosed friction surface of a drum, and all factory front and many rear rotors are vented to further improve cooling. However, performance driving and hauling heavy loads or towing with a truck can create heat that even the best OE brake rotors can’t handle. You can significantly improve your vehicle ’s stopping capability with our performance brake rotors.

If you push your car hard on twisty roads or at the race track, or your hard-working truck gets rigorous use, you can experience brake fade and dangerously longer stopping distances with factory brake rotors. You can get the performance you want and the safety you need by upgrading to performance brake rotors. They have metallurgy and features specifically designed to dissipate heat and remain true, for superior braking performance even under severe operating conditions. We offer a large selection of rotors in a variety of constructions so you can get the rotors that best suit your needs and budget.

While the materials used for brake rotor construction are proprietary formulations unique to the manufacturer, in general they are all designed to provide consistent braking performance at high temperatures. Cast iron rotors may have a high carbon or silicon content for added strength and resistance to distortion at high temperatures that could otherwise cause shudder, vibration and fade. Carbon ceramic rotors were originally developed for racing. They’re manufactured from a mixture of fibers, resins and powders that combine to create lightweight components that are also resistant to deformation at extreme temperatures. But in addition to better materials, performance brake rotors also have design features that allow them to run cooler and provide shorter stopping distances.
