Why do these rotors have drilled holes and slots?

The drilled holes allow heat and gases to escape from the rotor surface, preventing brake fade. The slots help to sweep away brake dust and moisture, ensuring consistent contact between the brake pad and rotor for improved stopping power.

Do I need to buy two of these rotors?

Yes, for balanced braking performance, it is highly recommended to replace brake rotors in pairs on the same axle. This ensures that both sides of the vehicle brake evenly.

What is the black finish on the rotor?

The black finish is a protective coating applied to the rotor surface. It helps prevent rust and corrosion during shipping and storage, and it also gives the rotor a clean, finished look.

About this part

Product Details

The drilled and slotted design on this R1 Concepts brake rotor helps dissipate heat and remove brake dust more effectively than a standard rotor. This means you get more consistent stopping performance, especially during repeated braking or in wet conditions. It's a well-built replacement for your Jaguar S-Type, Vanden Plas, or XJ8, designed to help keep your braking system working reliably.

Each rotor is constructed from a durable cast iron material, chosen for its ability to withstand the heat and stress of braking. The surfaces are precision-machined with both drilled holes and deep slots. The drilled holes allow gases and heat to escape from the pad surface, while the slots help sweep away dust and water. This combination helps prevent brake fade and keeps your pads making solid contact with the rotor surface for better braking.

This is the front right rotor for your vehicle. Make sure to replace brake rotors in pairs on the same axle for balanced braking performance.
