Stoptech Sport Slotted & Drilled Brake Rotor
2017 Subaru BRZ
127.47030R
Overview:
The Stoptech Sport Slotted & Drilled Brake Rotor is a premium direct replacement rotor designed specifically for the 2017 Subaru BRZ. Engineered to enhance braking performance while maintaining compatibility with factory brake systems and stock calipers, this rotor delivers improved stopping power and reliability. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking better brake response and durability without the need for extensive modifications, these rotors combine advanced design with high-quality materials to provide a noticeable upgrade over standard OEM rotors.
With its distinctive drilled and slotted surface, the rotor effectively dissipates heat and brake dust, reducing the risk of pad glazing and maintaining consistent friction during both wet and dry conditions. The black e-coating not only adds a sleek appearance behind your wheels but also protects against corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.
Key Features:
Stoptech’s Sport Slotted & Drilled Rotors incorporate several advanced technologies to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity:
- Drilled and slotted design improves heat dissipation and brake dust evacuation for consistent braking performance.
- Black e-coating provides superior corrosion resistance, maintaining rotor integrity and appearance.
- High carbon metallurgy reduces pad squeal and enhances crack resistance under thermal stress.
- Directional curve vane design promotes efficient cooling and reduces brake fade during aggressive driving.
- Double disk ground surface ensures a consistent friction interface for smooth braking feel.
- Added molybdenum and chromium content increases rotor durability and resistance to cracking.
- Direct OE replacement for easy installation without modifications.
- Optimized for use with higher friction, European-style brake pad compounds for enhanced bite.
Construction & Design:
Constructed from premium high carbon cast iron, these rotors offer superior thermal conductivity and strength compared to standard rotors. The high carbon content minimizes the risk of cracking and warping under extreme heat, making them well-suited for spirited driving and track use. The drilled holes and precision-machined slots are strategically placed to maximize heat and gas evacuation, preventing brake fade and maintaining pad contact.
The black e-coating is applied to the non-friction surfaces, providing robust protection against rust and corrosion without compromising braking performance. The rotor’s double disk ground finish ensures a smooth, flat surface for optimal pad engagement and reduced noise.
Performance & Sound
Stoptech’s advanced metallurgy and rotor design significantly reduce brake pad squeal, especially when paired with high-performance, European-style brake pads. The drilled and slotted pattern increases initial bite and improves braking response in both wet and dry conditions, delivering confident stopping power. This rotor is engineered to maintain consistent performance under repeated heavy braking, making it an excellent choice for drivers who demand reliability and control.
Installation & Fitment:
These rotors are designed as direct replacements for the factory brake discs on the 2017 Subaru BRZ, fitting perfectly with stock calipers and brake hardware. Installation requires no modifications, allowing for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. It is recommended to replace rotors in pairs and to follow proper brake service procedures, including cleaning and bedding in new pads and rotors for optimal performance.
