Racing Brake: Rotors (2pc) [C7 Corvette Z51, LT1]

These rotors were engineered and built by RacingBrake based on the expertise and experience we have accumulated over the past decades in brake design and casting technology. Our expertise and experience allows us to make quality parts that not only perform better but also made to fit better. For example, you will notice that our front rotor diameter is 340mm vs. OE's 345mm and thickness has been increased from from 30mm to 31mm because the pad only makes contact with a diameter of 340mm and for a rotor of this size the proper thickness is 32mm but the OE caliper is only wide enough to fit a rotor with a maximum thickness of 31mm.

Rotor Material: Racing Formula Alloyed Gray Iron & Heat treated

Replacement Components
Rotor ring: D400-02

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.
