Ordering Your Perfect Rotors: Step-by-Step

The right rotors are the foundation of your brake setup. Here’s how we make sure you get the perfect set for your car and your driving style.

1. Give Us Your Specs: We need the vitals on your ride: make, model, year, VIN, and your wheel size/clearance. Most importantly, tell us how you plan to use them—daily driving, track days, or something in between.
2. We Recommend the Right Style: Based on your info, we'll suggest the best rotor type for you: slotted for better bite and heat dissipation, drilled for looks and wet weather performance, plain for smooth daily use, or a two-piece for serious weight savings and track duty.
3. You Finalize Your Choice: You confirm the rotor style, diameter, and preferred anti-corrosion coating. Once you give the nod, you can place your order securely through our site.
4. We Machine & Balance Them: This is where the magic happens. Your rotors are precision-machined to your specs, perfectly balanced to eliminate vibration, and expertly coated.
5. We Pack 'Em Up & Ship 'Em Out: We treat them like treasure. Your new rotors are carefully wrapped, boxed up securely, and sent on their way. You'll get a tracking number the moment they ship.

The Pro's Guide to Rotor Install & Care

Great rotors are only half the battle. A perfect installation is what unlocks their full potential and ensures your safety. Don't cut corners here.

1. The Install: Getting It Right from the Start

1. Always Use New Pads: We can't stress this enough. Installing new rotors with old, worn pads is a recipe for poor performance and uneven wear. For the best results, always pair new rotors with a fresh set of pads.
2. Clean the Hub Surface Religiously: Before mounting the new rotor, use a wire brush and brake cleaner to get the wheel hub surface perfectly clean and free of rust. This is the #1 cause of brake vibration. A rusty or dirty hub will prevent the rotor from sitting flat, leading to a wobble you'll feel in the pedal and steering wheel. Don't skip this.
3. Clean the New Rotor: Your new rotors come with a light anti-rust coating. Wipe down the friction surfaces (both sides) with a good brake cleaner to remove this oil before installation.
4. The Bed-In Is Not Optional: Just like with pads, new rotors need a break-in period. For the first 300-600 miles (approx. 500-1,000 km), avoid hard, last-minute braking. Easy, progressive stops will properly mate the new pads to the rotors. Slamming on the brakes right out of the box can cause warping and deep scoring.

2. On the Road: Keeping Your Rotors Healthy

1. Don't Shock Hot Rotors: After a spirited drive or a track session, your rotors are blazing hot. Never, ever spray them with cold water from a hose or drive through a deep puddle. The sudden temperature shock can crack or warp the metal. Let them air cool.
2. Normal Rust vs. Real Problems: A thin layer of surface rust after washing your car or a rainy day is totally normal and will wipe off the first time you brake. However, if you see deep grooves or pitting, get it checked out. It could mean a rock or debris is stuck between the pad and rotor.

3. Know When to Replace Them

Rotors are a wear item, just like pads. They get thinner over time. Most rotors have wear indicators—like small dimples or faded grooves. Once those indicators are gone, or if you can feel a significant "lip" on the outer edge of the rotor, it's time for a new set. Don't risk your safety by running them too thin.
