Brake Discs

The mechanical and thermal stresses acting on the brake disc are extremely high. So it’s important they’re up to the job, and perform just as intended. Like all of our braking products, our discs are made to mirror the OE. So whatever the technology, you can be assured that every Delphi disc has been designed, engineered and manufactured to provide the very best braking performance. Just like the OE. Be it coated, cross drilled or high-carbon…it’s a given.

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

Exposed to heat, dirt and moisture, ABS sensors can often need replacing. Learn how here.
 

How do I remove the existing ABS sensor? 


First, remove the wheel. Then, remove the clip on the arch liner to give access to the connector on the ABS sensor. Now, disconnect the faulty ABS sensor followed by the mounting rubbers. Next, pivot the hub so it’s easier to get to the 10mm securing bolt holding the ABS sensor in place. Remove the bolt, free the sensor from its mounting and remove it.  


Do I need to do a visual check of the new part? 


We always recommend checking the new part against the old one to make sure that it matches. It’s quick to do and ensures you’re fitting a like-for-like new part. To do this, hold the old and new ABS sensors next to each other. Now check that their heads are identical, also that the electrical connectors have the same pins and locating point.   


In what order do I fit the new component? 


Start by fitting the electrical connector. Next, secure the cable to the chassis using the clips. You now need to clean the hub for a flush fit. Once you’ve done this, fit the ABS sensor in place. Now, replace the 10mm bolt before resecuring the arch liner. Finally, refit the wheel. 


Have I finished once I’ve fitted the new ABS sensor? 


No, one last job to do. Lower the vehicle and connect the diagnostic tool. Clear any fault codes and confirm wheel speed using the live data.
