The 034 Motorsport 355x22mm 2-Piece Floating Rear Brake Rotor Upgrade has been developed specifically for the Mk8 GTI / Golf R and Audi 8Y S3 / RS3 and offers significant improvements in braking performance. This kit replaces the original brake rotors and caliper carriers and is designed to work perfectly with the factory calipers. Thanks to the lighter design, each rotor weighs only 13.5 lbs, which reduces rotating weight by 1.5 lbs per corner compared to the 15.0 lbs factory rotors. The increased rotor diameter, from 310mm to 355mm, not only ensures shorter braking distances but also improved heat dissipation, essential for intense driving conditions such as street riding, track days, and HDPE events. These advanced brake rotors are equipped with 72 curved cooling channels that force air through the rotor to dissipate heat quickly and effectively. This helps prevent overheating and maintain performance even during prolonged heavy use. The rotor design utilizes a floating mounting system, using strong steel bobbins to allow the rotor to safely expand and contract under high temperatures without structural damage or distortion. The central "hat" of the rotor is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-spec aluminum, resulting in a lightweight yet robust product. The rotor itself is made from a special metal alloy that can withstand the extreme temperatures encountered during heavy braking. The J-Slot grooves on the rotor's surface improve braking performance by keeping the brake pads clean of contaminants and minimizing gas buildup, contributing to more consistent performance.
These improvements not only result in greater braking power and control but also in less maintenance in the long term thanks to the efficient design that reduces wear.
