Kit Number:

• PBK.05.048.378.360.TL.01.02.Px.F (378x36mm Rotor)

• PBK.05.048.410.360.TL.01.02.Px.F (410x36mm RotorPA035 6 Piston Calipers
  • Mil-Spec hard coat anodized or ENP electroless nickel plated finish
  • CNC machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Outstanding rigidity. Reduces compliance which allow for a consistent pedal feel, and improves responsiveness/modulation characteristics
  • Titanium nitride (TiN) coated pistons. Improve durability and extend service intervals by protecting the sliding surfaces of the pistons. Allow smooth piston travel

  

  • Stainless steel pistons can act as an effective thermal barrier due to the lower thermal conductivity vs. aluminum pistons, which help prevent brake fluid boiling and brake fade. Extra machining is done to minimize contact with the pads
  • Staggered piston bore sizes for improved brake balance and even pad wear
  • High temperature piston seals and internal dust seals are utilized to withstand the heat generated under harsh track conditions and extend caliper service life. Internal dust seals are able to offer protection against debris/contaminants and will not melt as easily as the external dust boots that are commonly used on OEM calipers

  

  • Hard anodized/nickel plated for improved wear resistance. Will not deteriorate under extreme heat like painted/powder coated calipers
  • Replaceable stainless steel abutment plates to allow smooth braking action and prevent wear on the caliper body
  • Strong, yet lightweight. Each caliper weighs 6.5 lbs (without pads)
  • Optional anti-knockback springs
  • Stainless steel bleed screws and crossover pipes
  • Each caliper is pressure tested to guarantee proper operation

  ENP caliper finish

  

  • Extremely durable and resistant to heat, wear, and corrosion
  • More scratch resistant vs. hard anodized finish
  • Easy wipe off of brake dust, brake fluid stain, and grime due to the low porosity of the plating
  • Visually stunning finish which never deteriorates. Blends perfectly with any vehicle’s color scheme

   

  Floating 2-piece Rotors

  

  • Floating 2-piece design allows thermal expansion of the rotor while minimizing deformation and ensuring the rotor is self-centered with the pads
  • Superior braking and cooling performance
  • Features 72 directional ventilation vanes to create suction, turbulence, and guides cool air through the rotor for improved heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking
  • Made of CM-250 special formulated high carbon alloy cast iron. Allows for an optimal bite, thermal characteristics, high-temperature strength, and durability
  • Heat treated to release stress in the rotor to avoid deformation and vibration
  • State-of-the-art CBN surface machining to ensure better break-in with new brake pads
  • Excellent thermal capacity. Allows the rotors to absorb and dissipate heat more efficiently and help reduce chance of brake fade
  • Replacement rotor rings available at competitive price

   

  Curved Directional Ventilation Vanes

  Features 72 directional ventilation vanes to create suction and turbulence, and guide cool air through the rotor to achieve better heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking under harsh track conditions. Each rotor is left or right side specific, and the ventilation vanes are optimized to spin in a particular direction to pump the maximum amount of cool air through the rotor. This design allows the rotor to run up to 30% cooler than O.E. rotors and increases cooling efficiency by up to 30% over standard 1-piece units. Brake fade and judder are minimized during extended sessions. This means the brake system can withstand heavier track usage and provide consistent braking performance lap after lap.

  

  Slotted Friction Face

  Slotted rotor face pattern improves brake consistency by constantly cleaning the contact surface and dissipate heat generated, and gases released when the pads come into contact with the rotors. Slotted rotors have a superior advantage over blank rotors in wet or raining conditions by preventing water films to form between the brake pad and rotor surface.

  

  Hard Anodized Aluminum Hats

  • CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum
  • Unsprung weight reduction
  • High strength and durability
  • Type III Mil-spec hard anodized to increase resistance to wear, corrosion, and discoloration

  

Floating Bobbins & Mounting System

Utilizes T-Bobbin rotor to hat mounting system to allow “float” in both radial and axial directions, and minimize brake judder. The high quality stainless steel hardware are corrosion resistant which allows secure mounting, and smooth expansion and contraction throughout heat cycles. Anti wear clips (McLaren spring clips) are utilized to slightly pre-load the rotor assembly and minimize rattling noise.

Caliper Mounting Brackets

CNC machined caliper mounting brackets to ensure superior strength, durability, and secure mounting of calipers to knuckles.

Track / Race Compound: 

R5 Compound

The R5 “High Friction Track / Competition” compound is designed as a dedicated track compound. High coefficient of friction provides sufficient stopping power for track and competition conditions. Precise modulation and release characteristics. Highly fade resistant with wide temperature range. Flatter torque curve compared to the R7 compound, providing consistent and solid braking performance throughout the effective temperature range which boosts driver’s confidence. Elevated noise and brake dust compared to P2 and P3 compounds. Relatively easy on rotors compared to competitors’ racing pad offerings. Great front pad option for lighter cars, and rear pad option for those who prefer a more front biased setup with the R7 compound up front.

• Recommended for track use only

• Comparable to: Endless CC60(N30C), Cobalt XR1 & XR2, Pagid RS29, Ferodo DS3000+

***Track and race pads are not recommended to be used on streets due to elevated brake dust and noise level, possibly higher pad and rotor wear during low speed brake events, and being not able to work 100% as designed at ambient temperature. If these downsides of dedicated track and race pads are not an issue, they can be used on streets absolutely fine.
