Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Brembo XTRA 09.B970.1X rotor is constructed from high carbon cast iron, which provides superior thermal conductivity and resistance to cracking under high stress. Its composite vented design enhances airflow, helping to maintain optimal braking temperatures during extended use. The X drilled surface pattern improves heat dissipation and helps prevent water buildup on the rotor surface, which is critical for maintaining consistent braking performance in wet conditions.

With a nominal thickness of 30 mm and a discard thickness of 28.5 mm, this rotor maintains structural integrity over its service life. The rust resistant coating protects against corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments. The rotor’s overall height measures 52 mm (2.05 inches), and it features a 5-lug hole pattern with a 68 mm center hole diameter, making it compatible with a range of Audi and Porsche vehicles.
