ECE R90 certified brake discs
It should come as no surprise that our brake discs for new vehicles launched post 1 st November 2016 are R90 certified, alongside a range for popular older applications. After all, we’ve been meeting these quality standards for many years. The only difference today: our discs now undergo official ECE R90 testing schedules including performance, dynamic friction comparison, high load integrity and thermal fatigue analysis to certify that they perform to a prescribed tolerance of the OE part.

Fully coated brake discs
Thanks to a special zinc-flake, silver Geomet coating, our coated brake discs offer greater and longer-lasting corrosion protection compared with many oil-dipped or partially painted and coated equivalents, whilst also being more cosmetically appealing. And because they have no oil to clean off, they save valuable labour and service time. All this makes for a better protected disc that’s easier to install, easier to dismount as well as being easy on the eye too.
High-carbon brake discs
The added carbon content in our high-carbon discs helps to both reduce the risk of thermal cracking under high-temperature loads, and allows the discs to operate at a cooler temperature, for a more consistent braking performance. It also increases their resistance to distortion or warping for added durability, while delivering noise and judder free braking.
Cross-drilled brake discs
As well as looking cool from behind your wheels, our cross-drilled discs will keep your brakes feeling the same way – cool. The cross-drilled holes dissipate heat, brake dust and gases, helping to keep the pad surface cool and clean and reducing the risk of thermal distortion and warping. These same holes also prevent a film of water forming during wet conditions for improved braked response.
Vented brake discs
Our vented discs feature special internal cooling passages to maximise airflow. By continually moving air across the disc’s surface or through the disc itself, they allow more heat to be dissipated, improving both cooling capacity and resistance to cracking from thermal shock.
Brake discs with bearings
To avoid damage to the bearing during removal, and ensure the correct pressing in into the new, we offer a range of discs with these safety critical components already pre-mounted. They also include both toothed and magnetic ABS sensor rings, as per the OE, and the relevant fixing accessories. All for quick and accurate installation.
One-piece cast iron brake discs
Our one-piece cast iron discs offer an aftermarket alternative to BMW’s patented two-piece bi-metallic composite disc. Engineered from a single piece of cast iron, they deliver the same standards of consistency, longevity and braking performance as the two-piece disc, but at a fraction of the price. And to top it off, they come with fixing screws for quicker and easier fitting.

Resource Highlights
Here we’re going to take a look at how to use a thermal camera to identify faulty or sticking brakes.
There are a number of ways to investigate a car’s brake performance, including a roller brake tester, or raising the vehicle to feel for resistance manually. But using a thermal camera is often the quickest way to find the brake that’s causing the problem.
Laura, our Delphi expert, shows you how it’s done using a Kia Sportage as an example vehicle. She explains:
- Why sticking brakes can be a problem
- The different methods for diagnosing them
- How simple using a thermal camera is
What problems do sticking brakes cause?
If your vehicle’s brakes aren’t free, there’ll be a constant drag, resulting in more fuel used - and of course, reduced fuel economy.
Why is a thermal camera useful for brake testing?
Brakes will tend to give off more heat if they’re malfunctioning or sticking. They can even indicate the precise part of the brake that’s affecting performance.
Can a thermal camera be used for other vehicle parts?
Yes. A thermal camera can be used to diagnose electrical defects such as loose connections or faulty components. It can also help you assess exhaust leaks, faulty heating elements, air conditioning issues, and catalytic converter problems.
