Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 Excl CC Brake Fr 2-Piece Discs 380x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type3

This is a set of Brembo 2-piece front brake rotors, specifically designed for the 2008 through 2016 Audi R8 models equipped with the 4.2L or 5.2L engine, excluding those with Carbon Ceramic brakes. These rotors measure 380mm in diameter and are 34mm thick, featuring a Type 3 slotting pattern. Brembo is well-known for its high-performance braking components, and this rotor set is built to handle the demands of a vehicle like the R8.

The 2-piece rotor design is a key feature here. It separates the braking surface (the disc) from the hat (the central hub that bolts to the car). This construction allows for better heat management because the aluminum hat can dissipate heat more effectively than a solid iron rotor. It also helps reduce unsprung weight, which can have a positive impact on handling and suspension response. The Type 3 slotting pattern on the braking surface is designed to help sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, maintaining consistent braking performance, especially during spirited driving or track use. The slots also help to keep the rotor surface cleaner, which can contribute to longer pad life.

When installing these rotors, you'll find they are a direct replacement for the factory components, meaning no modifications are needed for fitment. The high-quality materials and precise manufacturing from Brembo ensure these rotors will perform reliably and contribute to the overall braking capability of your R8. If you're looking to maintain or enhance the braking performance of your high-performance Audi, this Brembo rotor set is a solid option.
