Wilwood160-1601Brake Rotors - 2 PieceSteel rotors have applications in all types of motorsports. Steel rotors provide a durable lightweight option in applications where sustained temperatures remain in the low to moderate range, and high heat spikes are only observed on an intermittent basis. This could be anything from a hard stopping drag race car at the end of a quarter mile, or a high speed stock car coming in from a qualifier at a super speedway. Steel rotors can also be found in lighter weight open wheel cars such as sprints and modifieds, and a variety of light weight, open wheel road course racers. A special alloy and proprietary manufacturing processes give these rotors high resistance to thermal distortion with excellent friction and wear characteristics against the pads.Wilwood steel rotors are constructed from a special high-strength steel alloy, with a processing technique that provides greater strength, stability, and resistance to warping. They're great for use on lightweight formula, open wheel, dirt track, and drag race cars—because the rotors don't require continuous thermal cycling or cooling periods. Their lightweight design greatly reduces rotating mass and unsprung weight. Each replacement rotor is ground for flatness and plated with a protective coating. They're available in solid, cross-drilled, and slotted designs. Order the size needed for your vehicle application.
