034 Motorsport 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor 375mm Upgrade for Mk8 Golf R & Audi 8Y S3

The 034Motorsport 375x34mm 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade for MK8 Golf R & Audi 8Y S3 is a complete replacement brake rotor and caliper carrier kit, designed to work flawlessly with the factory front calipers. Weighing in at approximately 26.0lbs, each rotor reduces rotational weight by 1.3lb on each corner over the factory 27.3lb rotors, and increases rotor diameter from 357mm to 375mm! While reducing weight, the rotor retains proper thermal mass in the rings to adequately capture heat, while utilizing 72 directionally curved vanes to forcefully flow cool air through the rotor to dissipate heat.

The 034Motorsport 375x34mm 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade is available in Blue for MK8 Golf R and Red for Audi 8Y S3.

Installation Effort: MEDIUM
NVH Levels: None-Low

NVH is the measurement of how much noise, vibration, & harshness gets transmitted into the cabin of your vehicle. The 034Motorsport 2-Piece Brake Rotors transfer none to low amounts of noise to the cabin based on user feedback. This NVH is relative to the brake pad installed with the brake rotor. Different brake pads will have different resonances when passing over a rotor with slots, which can sometimes make a slight whirring noise. The sounds from these rotors are the direct result of the performance improvements they make to the braking. The J-slots release gas from under the brake pad, and the high-density directional aero veining in the rotors move substantial air, all resulting in more sounds of air moving. The installation of other suspension components can also affect the NVH transferred. NVH is subjective, so some users may find NVH to be increased or decreased from our rating. If you are experiencing higher than quoted NVH with this product, please email techsupport@034motorsport.com for further assistance.

Product Description:

The 034Motorsport 375x34mm 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade for MK8 Golf R & Audi 8Y S3 is a complete replacement brake rotor and caliper carrier kit, designed to work flawlessly with the factory front calipers. Upgrading your rotors will increase overall braking performance in street, track, and HDPE driving conditions, as they keep your brakes cool and strong all day long!

Weighing in at approximately 26.0lbs, each rotor reduces rotational weight by 1.3lbs on each corner over the factory 27.3lb rotors and increases rotor diameter from 357mm to 375mm! This increases stopping power and reduces rotational weight! While reducing weight, the rotor retains proper thermal mass in the rings to adequately capture, and dissipate heat.

The central hat portion of the 034Motorsport rotor is made of 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is constructed out of a proprietary metal alloy that can withstand immense braking temperatures while holding form. The 034Motorsport 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade Kit utilizes 72 directionally curved vanes properly oriented for each side of the vehicle to forcefully flow cool air through both rotors to dissipate heat equally.

The face of the rotor utilizes J-Slot slots to clean the pad surface of contaminants and allows hot pad outgassing.

The rotor and hat have a floating mount system that utilizes high strength alloy steel bobbins. The pins take the load from braking actions while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc, allowing for safe expansion and contraction from heat.

FEATURES:

• Lightweight Construction (26lb 375mm 034Motorsport Rotor vs. 27.3lb 357mm OE Rotor)
• Includes Replacement Painted Caliper Carrier to Accommodate Larger 375mm Brake Rotor
• Fits Under Most 18" Wheel Designs & OE Wheels
  
  • * NOTE: 18" wheels are a tight fit. Due to the possibility of manufacturing tolerance stacking, always confirm proper clearance between the caliper/bracket and the wheel before driving the car. Never grind or modify the caliper or bracket to "make it fit".
• Floating, 2-Piece Design
• Aerospace Grade Aluminum Hats with Type III Hard Anodizing**
• CM-250 Special Alloy Rotor Rings
• J-Slot Slotted Friction Face
• OEM Fitment & Functionality
• 72 Curved Vanes Force Cooling Air through Brake Disc
• Floating Bobbins Mounting System
• Replaceable Rotor Rings
• Lower Long-term Maintenance Cost

Braking Performance Improvements:

034Motorsport conducted 14 consecutive 60mph-0mph braking events and measured the temperatures of all four brake rotors. From the factory, the same rotor is used on both sides of the S3 & Golf R, leading to one side having incorrect venting and cooling effects, leading to up to an 80°f temperature differential between left and right rotor.

After installing the 034Motorsport Upgraded 2-Piece Brake Rotors, both left & right rotors increase in heat more evenly throughout all 14 consecutive braking events. By increasing thermal mass and improving the cooling, the 034Motorsport 2-Piece Brake Rotors stay nearly 140°f cooler than the factory rotors in similar testing conditions with the same brake pads.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• 375x34mm 034Motorsport 2-Piece Floating Front Rotor Pair
• Caliper Carrier Conversion Brackets (Red or Blue)

**Please Note: Type III hard anodizing of aluminum is considered as a functional surface coating process. While we always aim for color consistency, color variations may exist from batch to batch due to the nature and variables in the anodizing process.
