What is the benefit of drilled brake rotors?

Drilled rotors help dissipate heat and gases that build up during braking. This can lead to more consistent stopping performance and reduce the chance of brake fade, especially under heavy use.

What is the black finish on these rotors for?

The black finish is a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion on the rotor surface. This keeps the rotor looking good and can make installation easier by preventing it from sticking to the hub.

Are these rotors sold individually or as a pair?

These R1 Concepts brake rotors are sold individually. For a complete front brake job, you will need to order two of these rotors for the front axle.

About this part

Product Details

These R1 Concepts brake rotors are made from a durable cast iron that's been drilled with precision holes. This design helps to vent hot gases and dust away from the pad surface, which can lead to more consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving or repeated braking. The black finish isn't just for looks; it helps protect the rotor from rust and corrosion, keeping it looking good and performing well over time.

Specifically for the front right side of your 1971-1974 BMW 3.0CS, these rotors are a direct replacement for the factory part. The drilled pattern is a step up from plain rotors, offering a noticeable improvement in heat management without compromising the rotor's structural integrity. This makes them a solid option if you're looking to maintain or slightly improve your classic BMW's braking performance.
