FAQs

What is the main advantage of vented brake discs?

Vented brake discs have internal channels that allow air to flow through them, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This reduces the risk of brake fade during heavy or prolonged braking, leading to more consistent stopping power.

How do I know if these discs fit my car?

You must verify compatibility using the part number (ADN143167) against your vehicle's specifications. Check your car's owner's manual, consult a parts database, or speak with an automotive parts professional to confirm fitment for your specific make, model, and year.

What does 'coated surface' mean for these brake discs?

The coated surface refers to a protective layer applied to the disc, typically on the non-friction areas. This coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, especially during storage or in humid conditions, and can also improve the visual appearance.

Why is professional installation recommended?

Brake systems are critical safety components. Professional installation ensures the discs are mounted correctly, all hardware is torqued to specification, and the system is functioning as intended. Incorrect installation can compromise safety and lead to component failure.

What is the weight of each brake disc?

Each brake disc weighs approximately 6.7 kg.

Are these discs suitable for all driving conditions?

These vented discs are particularly beneficial for conditions that generate significant heat, such as mountain driving, towing, or spirited driving. For standard city driving, they offer reliable performance and durability.

What is the break-in procedure for new brake discs?

A proper break-in or bedding-in procedure is essential for optimal performance and longevity. It usually involves a series of moderate stops to allow the pads and discs to mate correctly. Consult your installer or vehicle manufacturer's guidelines for the specific procedure.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration during braking.

This could indicate warped discs or uneven pad material transfer. Ensure discs were installed correctly and bedded in properly. May require resurfacing or replacement.

Squealing or grinding noise during braking.

Check for debris between the pad and disc, or worn brake pads. Inspect disc surface for excessive wear or damage. Consider if brake pad material is compatible.

Reduced braking effectiveness.

Verify brake fluid level and condition, check for air in the system, and inspect brake pads for wear. Ensure discs are not excessively worn or contaminated.

Premature wear or surface damage on discs.

This may be caused by improper bedding-in procedure, aggressive driving, or incorrect installation. Ensure the correct pads are used and installation was to specification.
