Racing Brake: Karma Rotors (2pc) [CTS V gen 2, Camaro ZL1 gen 5]

Rotor Material: Racing Formula Alloyed Gray Iron & Heat treated
Machining: Open Slot
Surface: EDP Coating w/cross cut grinding on friction surface

NOTE: Retaining and jack screw holes might have been eliminated to prevent the screws from stripping and breaking, causing tremendous effort to remove and replace the rotors. Our two-piece rotor hats are made of aluminum which is easier for installation and removal. See detail view here.

Replacement Components

Rotor Ring: D501-02-381
Fasteners: FK1

Rotor Kit Includes:

• 2 ea. Rear two piece rotor - Fully assembled for a 100% bolt on installation.
• 1 ea. Rear set RB street performance brake pads.

Material:

1. Alloyed iron formula adds strength and heat resistance. Heat treating further improves rotor performance for a more uniform and stabilized microstructure.

Design:

1. The cooling vanes are of a convergent nozzle design, which increases airflow and turbulence and makes discs cooler. (Illustration #1)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. The center-mount flanges for hat mounting to the rotor ring have several benefits. (Illustration #2)

• It allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring (unidirectional).
• The stress load transferred from the ring to the hat is balanced.
• Air inlets are widely open to both inboard and outboard sides of the rotor. More air suctions and even temperature on both sides of the disc surface.
• Heat transfer from the disc surfaces to the hat is even and minimized by increasing the flange length and the airflow around the flanges.
• Mounting flanges are on both friction surfaces ultimately provides excellent heat balance.
• Exclusive full floating design with 10.9 grade alloyed hardware. Hardware is DACRO coated and crimp locking. DACRO is highly corrosion resistant and provides a film for easier movement between the hat and rotor ring as disc expands and contracts and the crimp design provides positive engagement without rattling or torque loss at temperature.
