What is the benefit of drilled and slotted brake rotors?

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

What does the black E-coating do?

The black E-coating is a protective finish applied to the entire rotor surface. It helps prevent rust and corrosion, keeping your rotors looking clean and extending their lifespan.

Do I need to replace my brake pads when installing new rotors?

It is highly recommended to replace your brake pads when installing new rotors. Worn pads may not provide optimal performance with new rotors, and replacing them at the same time ensures the best possible braking results.

Product Details

This front left brake rotor for your 1979-1981 Audi 5000 is drilled and slotted, a design choice that helps manage heat and improve braking performance. The drilled holes allow gases and heat to escape from the rotor surface, while the slots help sweep away dust and debris. This combination means you get more consistent stopping power, especially during repeated braking events.

R1 Concepts uses a black E-coating on this rotor, which not only gives it a clean look but also helps protect it from rust and corrosion. This coating is applied to the entire rotor surface, including the non-friction areas, to ensure long-lasting protection. The rotor is built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, meaning it should fit right onto your Audi 5000 without any issues.

When you're replacing your brake rotors, it's a good idea to inspect your brake pads and hardware as well. If your old pads are worn down, consider replacing them at the same time to get the most out of your new rotors and ensure optimal braking performance.
