OEM Brake Discs, Rotors & Hardware

Brake discs are rotating parts of a disc brake. A pair of brake pads clamp onto it to produce stopping friction. The brake disc or rotor is either made of cast iron or carbon-ceramic material. Carbon ceramics are more common in racing cars due to their expensive cost. For mass production, discs or rotors are made of either grey, ductile, or CV cast iron. Grey cast iron is most popular for its excellent processability and anti-abrasion properties.

Cost to Upgrade Disc Brakes

While drum brakes are known to be more durable, disc brakes can provide more stopping power. You can order disc brake conversion kits to switch into disc brakes or upgrade your existing set. Conversion or upgrade kits can range from $600 to $2,000 depending on what your vehicle needs. For a wide range of choices for discs, rotors, and other accessories, check our online catalog.

Is a Drum to Disc Brake Conversion Worth It?

If your vehicle comes with drum brakes on both front and rear, then it’s worth replacing the front side with disc brakes. Aside from their better performance, they are also easier to maintain since you can inspect them without removing the wheels.

Disadvantages of Drum Brakes

Three huge drawbacks of having drum brakes instead of discs include poor heat dissipation, difficulty in servicing, and tendency to warp or misshape.
