APR Direct Replacement Brake Discs and Pads

APR Direct Replacement Brake Discs are a plug-and-play upgrade for your factory brakes. They provide reduced brake fade, improved brake consistency, and excellent modulation, especially during repeated consecutive braking applications or spirited driving. The rotors have improved resistance to distortion, warping, and cracking at high temperatures. They pair perfectly with the APR Direct Replacement Advanced Street Pads, and provide a no-compromise solution for spirited daily driving.

Features and Benefits (Discs)
  • Direct replacement front and rear discs
  • Various factory sized vented and solid discs with slotted faces
  • Reduced brake fade and improved brake consistency
  • Improved initial braking response or bite
  • Improved brake modulation, especially during emergency stops
  • Improved resistance to rotor distortion, warping, and cracking at high temps
  • Slot pattern specifically designed to evenly distribute heat across the rotor surface
  • Slot pattern operates smoothly and quietly over a wide application range
  • Cast in Europe from a proprietary high carbon cast-iron alloy
  • Machined to tolerances up to three times tighter than the industry norm
  • Maximum Temperature Recording (MTR) system
  • Proprietary black, anti-contamination finish ensures no oils are transferred to the pads
  • Suitable for normal daily driving and spirited driving
Features and Benefits (Pads)
  • Direct replacement front and rear brake pads
  • Reduced brake fade and improved brake consistency
  • High friction co-efficient
  • Brake torque curves engineered not to overwhelm street-legal tires
  • Max operating temperature approaching race pad levels
  • Low disc wear

Do you have any pictures of the rotors mounted and in use on a car?

the only installed pro shots I've done were with our BBK. It has the same slot pattern:



The black will wear off on the swept area and remain on the edges and the grooves after bedding in.

Any candid shots? Just trying to get a sense of how it looks behind a wheel with the coating worn off.

Don't bother, they're not directionally vaned. There's no real appreciable difference between this and OEM aside from a snazzy finish. I asked Powerbrake (who makes these, their RS line) for a directionally vaned rotor only to be denied.

If I'm being 100% honest, I'm only in it for a snazzy finish. I have Macan calipers on the way, noticed these came in 345x30, so saw them as a potential upgrade. My car is a daily driver, the most action it sees is some snappy on ramps, and maybe some quick pulls on deserted stretches of highway. My entire brake project is purely cosmetic 😂
