FAQs
Are these brake discs suitable for all vehicles?
No, these brake discs are designed for specific vehicle makes and models. It is essential to verify compatibility using your vehicle's details before purchasing.
What is the purpose of the vented design?
The vented design allows air to flow through the disc, which helps to dissipate heat generated during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and improves overall braking performance, especially under heavy use.
How should I clean the brake discs?
Generally, brake discs do not require special cleaning. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the braking components. Light surface rust that appears during storage usually wears off after a few braking cycles.
What does 'minimum thickness' mean?
The minimum thickness (28.5mm in this case) is the wear limit for the brake disc. Once the disc wears down to this thickness, it must be replaced for safety reasons.
Can I use these discs with any type of brake pads?
It is recommended to use brake pads that are compatible with the specific type of brake discs and your vehicle's braking system. Consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for recommendations.
What is the weight of this set of brake discs?
Each brake disc weighs 10.850 kg, for a total of 21.7 kg for the set of two.
What is the advantage of a coated surface?
The coated surface provides protection against corrosion and rust, extending the lifespan of the brake disc and maintaining its appearance, especially in challenging environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Vibration or pulsation felt during braking
This can indicate uneven rotor wear or warping. Ensure the discs were installed correctly and are compatible. A bedding-in procedure may help, or the discs may need replacement if damaged.
Squealing or grinding noise from brakes
This might be due to worn brake pads, debris, or improper installation. Inspect brake pads and ensure they are compatible and correctly seated. Clean the hub and mounting surfaces.
Brake performance feels diminished
Check for brake fluid leaks, worn brake pads, or air in the brake lines. Ensure the discs are the correct type and are not glazed or excessively worn. Perform a proper bedding-in procedure.
Rust formation on the coated surface
Light surface rust can form during storage or after exposure to moisture. This typically wears off after the first few braking applications. Heavy rust or pitting may indicate a defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Verify Compatibility: Crucially, confirm that these brake discs (Febi 170053) are compatible with your specific vehicle's make, model, and year using the provided compatibility tools or by contacting customer support with your vehicle details.
Professional Installation Recommended: It is highly recommended that brake components be installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and function.
Bedding-In Procedure: Follow the manufacturer's recommended bedding-in procedure after installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the brake discs and pads.
Compatibility:
These discs are designed for the front axle of compatible vehicles.
Key dimensions for compatibility include: Outer Diameter: 328mm, Thickness: 30mm, Minimum Thickness: 28.5mm, Bolt Hole Circle: 127mm, Centering Diameter: 72mm, Number of Bolt Holes: 5.
Always use the vehicle's make and model information to check compatibility before purchasing.
Care:
Regularly inspect brake discs for signs of wear, such as deep scoring, glazing, or cracking.
Keep the braking system clean by avoiding high-pressure washing directly at the discs and calipers.
Ensure brake pads are replaced in conjunction with brake discs for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear of new components.
