What is the purpose of the straight vanes in this rotor?

The 48 straight vanes are designed to channel air through the rotor as it spins. This airflow helps to dissipate heat generated during braking, which can reduce brake fade and maintain stopping performance.

How does the slotting on the rotor help my brakes?

The slots on the rotor surface serve a couple of key functions. They help to sweep away brake pad material and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor, ensuring a cleaner and more consistent contact surface for improved braking.

Is this rotor a direct replacement for my stock brakes?

This Wilwood GT rotor is designed as a high-performance upgrade, often for vehicles with existing two-piece rotor setups. It's important to verify fitment for your specific vehicle and brake system to ensure it's a direct replacement or compatible upgrade.

Product Details

This listing is for a single Wilwood GT Slotted rotor, specifically the left-side unit. You'll receive one 11.75-inch diameter rotor with a 1.25-inch thickness, featuring 48 straight vanes designed for optimal airflow. This rotor is part of Wilwood's GT series, known for its robust construction and performance-oriented features.

The GT series rotors are built with a focus on consistent stopping power, especially under demanding conditions. The straight vane design helps to move air through the rotor, aiding in heat dissipation and reducing the risk of brake fade during spirited driving or repeated braking. The slotting pattern on the rotor surface helps to clear away brake dust and gases, ensuring a cleaner contact patch between the pad and the rotor for improved braking performance. This rotor is designed to be a direct replacement for specific applications where a two-piece rotor setup is utilized, offering an upgrade in both performance and durability over standard cast iron rotors.

When installing a performance rotor like this, it's always a good idea to ensure your brake pads are compatible and in good condition. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper bedding procedures to get the most out of your new rotors.
