Q. What Are Some Advantages Of Using Star Brake Rotors?
A. Everyone loves how they look, but lets be honest, your brakes are there for a reason! The funny thing is the design is what makes them stop better. When the low part of the Star Rotor, passes between the pads, it has a pocket of cool air that helps cool the pads. They are actually self cleaning, and self cooling! What makes our design more unique is the “Directional-Slotted” front rotors. The slots channel fresh/cool air between your pads and the rotor, so no gaseous boundary forms, and the slots constantly keep the pad surface new, this helps reduce pad “glazing”. Test show up to 30% more stopping power, that conventional designs. They don't look half bad either! :-)

Q. What Material Are Star Brake Rotors Made From?
A. Star Brake Rotors are made of laser cut, and parallel double disc ground 410 Stainless Steel. Our Front Full Floating Rotors have a center composed of aerospace 6061 Aluminum alloy (magnesium/silicon/titanium), with a T6 heat temper grade. Again thats all the technical stuff, what this means on the street/track is; Since they are laser cut, and parallel double disc ground, they have a stress free, perfectly flat surface, meaning a large contact patch from your pads to rotors. The higher the contact patch, the better the braking! The 410 Stainless steel, that they consist of has a melting point of just under 2800 degrees. It has good impact strength, and corrosion/scaling resistance up to 1200 degrees, so you can put them through the abuse. The 6061 Aluminum that makes up the center has a T6 temper grade, meaning its been heat treated, it also means the centers have a melting point of just under 1100 degrees!

Q. Do I need to replace my pads when installing Star Brake Rotors?
A. It is not required, but highly recommended. If using old pads on a new rotor, your old pads will “cut” your old rotor lines into your new Star Brake Rotors. The new surface take a few times stopping to get broken in. WE RECOMMEND SINTERED HH-RATED CERAMIC/COPPER COMPOSITE PADS TO EXPLOIT THE FULLEST POTENTIAL OF YOUR NEW STAR ROTORS!
