What is the benefit of drilled brake rotors?

Drilled rotors have holes that help to vent heat and gases away from the braking surface. This can lead to more consistent stopping power, especially during heavy braking or repeated stops.

What does the black E-coating do?

The black E-coating on this rotor provides protection against corrosion and rust. It also gives the rotor a clean, finished look that can enhance the appearance of your wheels.

Is this rotor suitable for track use?

While the drilled holes help with heat management, drilled rotors can be more susceptible to cracking under extreme track conditions compared to solid or slotted rotors. For most street driving and occasional spirited use, it performs well.

About this part

Product Details

This R1 Concepts drilled brake rotor is made from a durable cast iron that's been treated with a black E-coating for corrosion resistance. The drilled holes are strategically placed to help vent heat and gases away from the braking surface, which can lead to more consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving or repeated braking events. This rotor is designed specifically for the left front position on your 1995-2002 BMW M3.

The E-coating not only protects the rotor from rust but also gives it a clean, finished look that complements your wheels. While the drilled pattern helps with heat management, it's important to note that rotors with drilled holes can sometimes be more prone to cracking under extreme stress compared to solid or slotted rotors. However, for most street applications and even some track use, this rotor offers a good balance of performance and protection.
