Product Line Details: StopTech Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors

The StopTech Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors line focuses on performance-oriented rotors that combine cross-drilled holes and precision slots. This design enhances braking efficiency by improving heat dissipation and removing brake dust and gases from the rotor surface. The vented rotor construction further aids in cooling, making these rotors suitable for spirited driving and daily use on compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

These rotors feature a nominal thickness of 0.976 inches (24.8 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.0 mm), ensuring a long service life before replacement is necessary. The overall diameter measures 12.283 inches (312 mm), with a vented design incorporating straight vanes to optimize airflow. The hat section is coated to prevent corrosion, and the rotor uses a floating disc mounting system for better thermal expansion management. The rotor includes five stud/lug holes with a 4.413 inch (112.1 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with various Audi and Volkswagen models. Note that ABS tone rings and bearings are not included with this rotor.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Audi A3, A3 Quattro, A3 Sportback e-tron
• Volkswagen Golf, Golf SportWagen, GTI, Jetta
• Volkswagen Passat, Passat CC, Tiguan, Tiguan Limited
• Volkswagen Beetle, Bora, Caddy, CC, Eos

Common Issues Addressed by These Rotors

• Brake fade caused by excessive heat buildup during aggressive driving
• Uneven brake pad wear due to poor rotor surface design
• Corrosion and rust on rotor hats reducing rotor lifespan
• Brake noise and vibration from inefficient gas and dust evacuation
• Reduced braking performance in wet conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor discard thickness is checked before installation to confirm suitability
• Use proper torque specifications for lug nuts to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maximize rotor performance
• Clean rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coatings or debris
• Verify compatibility with vehicle ABS system as these rotors do not include tone rings
