The Best Audi Brake Rotors Online

Brake rotors are one of the three main braking points of your Audi. They work in conjunction with the brake pads to slow down and ultimately stop the vehicle.

How Brake Rotors Work to Slow & Stop Your Audi

When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid is pressurized down a series of brake lines to the brake calipers. These clamping mechanism are what press the attached brake pads against the rotating brake rotors located behind the wheels. The friction form the pads and rotors converts kinetic energy into heat. This friction results in the deceleration and full stop of the vehicle.

There are several types of brake rotors commonly found in Audi vehicles. The most prevalent types include solid smooth rotors, vented or drilled rotors, and or slotted rotors. Solid rotors are simple, flat discs that provide the basic function of slowing down the vehicle. Vented or "drilled" rotors, on the other hand, have internal vanes or fins that enhance heat dissipation, making them more efficient for high-performance applications. Slotted rotors feature grooves on the rotor surface, which help to maintain consistent brake pad contact, improve braking performance, and prevent the buildup of gas and debris.

Signs of Brake Rotor Failure & Damage

Old or failing brake rotors can exhibit various warning signs that indicate the need for replacement. One common sign is excessive brake noise, such as squealing or grinding sounds, which may indicate worn-out brake rotors. Vibration or pulsation felt through the brake pedal when braking can also be a sign of warped or unevenly worn brake rotors. Also, a decrease in braking performance or longer stopping distances may suggest that the brake rotors have become too thin or worn out over time.
