• Direct OE fitment for easy installation with no special modifications required
• High-quality materials and manufacturing processes to ensure consistent performance and reliability
• Designed specifically for the front axle of Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S models

Construction & Design

These rotors are crafted from premium-grade cast iron, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and durability under high-stress braking conditions. The cross-drilled holes are precisely machined to optimize airflow and cooling, which helps prevent overheating during aggressive driving or track use. The rounded slot design not only improves debris removal but also minimizes pad glazing, ensuring consistent brake pad contact and performance.

The silver zinc dichromate plating provides a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial in wet or humid environments. This plating helps maintain the rotor’s structural integrity and appearance over time, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing longevity.
