Product Information

Full details

This guide is for vehicle owners seeking reliable and high-performance braking components. The key benefit is enhanced safety and consistent stopping power due to advanced thermal management and durable construction. A caveat is the need to ensure precise vehicle compatibility before purchase. Bosch Brake Discs are engineered for optimal performance, featuring vented designs with advanced thermal conductivity to run cooler, providing consistent high-performance braking. Made with high-quality materials and precise engineering, they ensure a durable, vibration-free, and noise-free braking experience, complemented by an oiled surface treatment for corrosion resistance.

FAQs

What does 'vented' mean for brake discs?

Vented brake discs have internal air channels or vanes. These allow air to flow through the disc, helping to dissipate heat more effectively than solid discs, which is crucial for maintaining braking performance under heavy use.

What is ECE-R90 certification?

ECE-R90 is a European regulation that sets standards for the performance and safety of replacement brake parts. Certification means that the Bosch brake discs meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment parts for the vehicle they are designed for.

How do I ensure these discs fit my car?

You must check the product specifications (dimensions, hole count, bolt circle diameter) against your vehicle's requirements. Using online vehicle fitment checkers or consulting with a parts specialist or us directly via the 'contact seller' link is recommended.

What is the purpose of the oiled surface treatment?

The oil is a temporary protective coating applied to prevent corrosion during storage and transportation. It must be removed with a suitable brake cleaner before installation and proper bedding-in.

How do I properly 'bed-in' new brake discs?

Bedding-in involves a series of moderate to firm stops from various speeds, followed by cooling periods, to ensure an even transfer of pad material onto the disc surface. Consult the specific instructions provided with the brake discs or by your mechanic for the recommended procedure.

Can these discs be used on any vehicle?

No, these discs are designed for specific vehicles. It is critical to confirm compatibility based on the vehicle's make, model, year, and original brake system specifications before purchase.

Are these discs suitable for track day use?

While Bosch brake discs offer enhanced performance, they are primarily designed for road use. For dedicated track applications, specialized high-performance or ceramic brake systems may be more appropriate, depending on the demands of the track and vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure discs are correctly installed and torqued. Check for warped discs or uneven pad material transfer. Ensure the vehicle's hub is clean and free of debris.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Confirm correct pad and disc bedding-in procedure was followed. Check for worn brake pads or debris trapped between pad and disc. Ensure correct brake pad shims are installed.

Reduced braking effectiveness

Verify brake fluid level and condition. Inspect brake pads for wear. Ensure the disc surface is free from contaminants and the bedding-in process is complete.

Premature corrosion on surface

The oiled surface is a temporary protective coating and must be cleaned before use. Minor surface rust may appear after exposure to moisture, but should be removed during normal braking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced braking performance and consistency
  • Reduced risk of brake fade due to effective heat dissipation
  • Durable construction for a longer service life
  • Quiet and vibration-free operation for driver comfort
  • Corrosion resistance ensures longevity
  • ECE-R90 certification provides peace of mind regarding safety standards

Cons

  • Requires careful compatibility check with specific vehicle models
  • May be priced higher than standard replacement discs
  • Vented design might not be suitable for all vehicle types or driving conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Always verify that these brake discs are compatible with your specific vehicle make, model, and year. Use the provided compatibility tools or consult with a professional if unsure.
  • The discs feature 4 holes with a 114.3 mm bolt hole circle diameter and specific dimensions (231.2 mm OD, 17 mm thickness).

Setup:

  • Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and safety.
  • Ensure all mounting hardware is new and torqued to manufacturer specifications.
  • Bedding-in the new brake discs according to the manufacturer's recommendations is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.

Care:

  • The oiled surface treatment provides initial protection; it must be thoroughly cleaned off with a suitable brake cleaner before installation.
  • Regularly inspect brake pads and discs for wear and damage during routine maintenance.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the brake components.
