What is the benefit of a drilled brake rotor?

Drilled rotors have holes that allow heat and gases to escape from the rotor surface more easily. This can help maintain more consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use.

What does the black coating on the rotor do?

The black electro-coating is applied to the non-friction surfaces of the rotor. Its primary purpose is to prevent rust and corrosion, keeping the rotor looking clean during storage and transit.

Should I replace my brake pads when installing new rotors?

It is highly recommended to replace your brake pads when installing new rotors. This ensures you get the best possible braking performance and that both components wear evenly.

About this part

Product Details

This R1 Concepts drilled brake rotor features a black electro-coating, which helps prevent rust and corrosion on the non-friction surfaces. It's designed for the front right side of your 1982-1989 BMW 535i, aiming to improve heat dissipation compared to a standard blank rotor.

The drilled holes in the rotor surface allow gases and heat to escape more readily. This can lead to more consistent braking performance, especially during repeated stops or when driving in demanding conditions. The black coating not only adds a clean look but also protects the rotor from the elements during storage and transit.

When replacing your brake rotors, it's a good idea to also inspect your brake pads and consider replacing them at the same time to ensure optimal braking performance and even wear.
