MSRP* ($USD) $3995.00 / set of 4
Application: CTS-V Coupe/Sedan/Wagon
Line Item: D3/ALCON UK Competition Brake Rotors
Ø370 x 34mm 2pc Front
Ø365 x 28mm 2pc Rear
Description: D3 is proud to work with our technology ALCON in developing a true 2pc ultra high performance rotor upgrade.
100% Manufactured in the UK the D3/ALCON 2pc Rotor Upgrade has been designed specifically for CTS-V automobiles allowing for maximum Airgas ventilation allowing for more constant stopping power.
In the US, every IRL title since 2003 has been won using Alcon brakes, and our product is specified as mandatory for the hard-braking road course races. In the world of NASCAR, we are proud to count Penske Racing and RedBull Racing amongst our front-running customers; while a partnership with friction manufacturer, Raybestos since 2006, broadens the use of Alcon designed and manufactured brake components in the top stock car series still further.
information
Alcon crescent groove discs
Grooves in the surface of a brake disc for high performance vehicles perform three basic functions:
•?Increases initial friction between the disc and pads, producing more ‘bite’
•?Continuously refreshes the brake pad surface by removing debris from the pad
•?Prevents build up of gas from the phenolics within the pads
Traditionally, arrays of long, straight or curved grooves are staggered around the disc surface. Heat generated during braking leads to thermal distortion of the disc due to the discontinuous friction rubbing surface produced by the grooves, causing reduced pad contact and in some cases brake judder. As a result of dividing the grooves into short segments, the continuous disc surface area is maintained, helping to reduce thermal distortion and hence brake judder.
The curved form of each groove produces a longer edge than would otherwise be achieved if the grooves were straight. Also the grooves overlap radially, which prevents grooving of the friction material.
When compared with a disc with plain faces, a groo ved disc will produce greater pad wear and will also be noisier.
When compared with a cross-drilled disc, initial bite will be similar without the thermal stress associated with a drilled disc. Noise will be of a similar level.
Notes: Caution – May trigger Onstar with its awesome stopping power.
