2-Piece Lightweight Brake Rotor Kit

The ECS Tuning 2-Piece Rear Cross-Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors offer significant performance enhancements for select Volkswagen models. Engineered as a direct bolt-on replacement, these rotors aim to deliver tangible benefits on both the street and track. The primary advantage is a substantial reduction in unsprung weight, with each rotor weighing only 12.75 lbs compared to the stock 15.4 lbs, resulting in a 15% overall weight saving per rotor (2.65 lbs). This reduction in unsprung and rotational mass directly translates to improved handling characteristics, quicker acceleration, shorter braking distances, and more responsive steering. The innovative 2-piece semi-floating design allows the rotor ring to expand radially, effectively preventing warping that can occur with conventional solid rotors under extreme heat fluctuations. Furthermore, the rotors are heat-treated to reduce internal stresses, minimizing the risk of cracking. The directional vane design accelerates air away from the rotor more efficiently than traditional straight veins, ensuring consistent and rapid cooling. Both cross-drilled holes (chamfered to prevent cracking) and slots are incorporated; the drilling promotes cross-ventilation, while the slots help clean the brake pads and manage dust and water, leading to faster and more consistent stopping power. These rotors are specifically designed for the following Volkswagen models: CC 4Motion VR6, Golf R (All), Passat B6 4 Motion 3.6L, and R32 MKV (All). Non-friction surfaces and internal vents are painted to resist corrosion, and the ground braking surfaces ensure proper pad contact and easier bedding.
