FAQs
What does R90 approval mean for this brake disc?
R90 approval indicates that the brake disc meets or exceeds the performance and safety standards set by European regulations for replacement brake parts. It assures you of consistent quality and reliability.
Is this brake disc suitable for track days?
The internally vented design helps dissipate heat, making it more suitable for performance driving than solid discs. However, for extreme track use, specialized track-day brake discs with higher heat tolerance might be recommended.
How long does the coating on the brake disc last?
The lifespan of the coating depends on driving conditions and maintenance. It is designed to protect against corrosion and improve aesthetics. While it provides initial protection, the primary function is braking performance, and wear will occur with use.
Do I need to replace brake pads when installing new discs?
It is highly recommended to replace brake pads whenever you replace brake discs. New pads paired with new discs ensure optimal performance, proper bedding-in, and even wear.
Can I use this disc on the front wheels?
This specific part number (09.C401.13) is designed as a rear brake disc. Always check the product specifications or consult a professional to ensure you are using the correct disc for your vehicle's front or rear axle.
What is the difference between a coated and an uncoated brake disc?
Coated brake discs have a protective layer applied to the non-friction surfaces (like the hub and outer edges) to prevent rust and corrosion, improving appearance and longevity. Uncoated discs typically rust more easily on these surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
This can be caused by uneven pad material transfer or a warped disc. Ensure a proper bedding-in procedure was followed. If vibration persists, the disc may need replacement or resurfacing by a professional.
Reduced braking performance
Check for brake fluid leaks, worn brake pads, or air in the brake lines. Ensure the disc is not excessively worn or glazed. A professional inspection of the entire braking system is recommended.
Noise during braking (squealing/grinding)
Minor squealing can sometimes occur, especially during the bedding-in phase. Persistent or loud grinding noises indicate significant wear or foreign debris, requiring immediate inspection and potential replacement of pads and discs.
Visible rust on coated surface
Surface rust can appear on coated discs, particularly after exposure to moisture. This is often normal and should wear off after initial braking. If rust is deep or accompanied by other issues, consult a mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Professional Installation Recommended: While designed for ease of installation, brake system components should ideally be fitted by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper function and safety.
Bedding-In Procedure: After installation, a specific bedding-in process is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, allowing the pad material to transfer evenly to the disc surface. Consult your mechanic or the Brembo documentation for the precise procedure.
Compatibility:
Vehicle Specific: This disc is designed for specific vehicle models. Always verify the part number (09.C401.13) and manufacturer recommendations against your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchase.
Brake System: Ensure compatibility with your vehicle's existing brake caliper and pad system.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the disc surface with a brake cleaner approved for automotive use. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the coating or surface.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as deep grooves, glazing, or warping. Check the thickness against the minimum specified limit.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use solvents or degreasers not specifically designed for brake components, as they can degrade the coating.
