What is the benefit of the drilled and dimpled surface on this rotor?

The drilled holes and dimples help to vent hot gases and moisture away from the brake pad surface. This improves heat dissipation, leading to more consistent stopping power and potentially reducing brake noise.

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

While not strictly required, it's highly recommended to inspect your brake pads when replacing rotors. If your pads are worn, replacing them at the same time will ensure optimal braking performance and help extend the life of your new rotors.

Does this rotor fit all Porsche 911 models from 2012-2016?

This specific rotor is designed for 2012-2016 Porsche 911 models that do NOT come equipped with factory ceramic brakes. It is also verified to fit 2016 Porsche Boxster and 2016 Porsche Cayman models.

Product Details

SHW Performance is known for making well-built brake components, and this front brake rotor is a solid example of that. If you're working on a 2012-2016 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS that doesn't have the factory ceramic brakes, this is the right side rotor you'll need to get your braking system back in shape. It's designed to be a direct replacement, so installation should be straightforward.

This rotor features a drilled and dimpled surface. The holes and dimples help to vent hot gases and moisture away from the pad surface. This means you get more consistent stopping power, especially during harder braking situations, and it can also help reduce brake noise. The rotor itself is made from a strong material that's built to handle the demands of a performance vehicle like the 911.

When you're replacing rotors, it's always a good idea to inspect your brake pads and consider replacing them at the same time if they're worn. This ensures you get the best performance and longevity out of your new rotors.
