Detailed Product Description

This Brembo disc brake rotor is specifically designed for Audi A8 Quattro and S8 vehicles, ensuring precise fit and reliable braking performance. The rotor is constructed from high carbon material, which improves heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of warping under high temperatures. The cross drilled braking surface with 5 holes enhances ventilation and helps maintain consistent brake pad contact by dissipating heat and gases more effectively.

The rotor’s vented design further aids in cooling, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency during demanding driving conditions. The UV coated finish provides a rust-resistant barrier, protecting the rotor from corrosion and extending its service life. With an outside diameter of 280 mm and a centering diameter of 68 mm, this rotor fits securely on compatible Audi models. The nominal thickness of 22 mm and minimum thickness of 20.5 mm ensure the rotor meets OEM specifications for safety and performance.
