Wilwood 160-8135 Ultralite 32 Vane Vented Scalloped Iron Rotor, 11.75

When it comes to brake rotors, racers are constantly searching for the ultimate balance between the lowest weight and the ability to effectively manage heat. Decreased rotating weight in the drive line provides quicker deceleration under braking and quicker acceleration out of the corners. Lower weight also benefits handling with improved spring and shock control over the unsprung suspension mass. Wilwood's ULS-32 scalloped iron rotors provides effective lightweight options for sprints, late models, modifieds, and other competition applications that race in low to medium temperature ranges.

Note: Suitable for Light Dirt Racing applications. Scalloped Brake Rotors are unsafe for street use.

• Scallop configuration provides greatest weight reduction on a vented straight vane iron rotor
• Scallop machining removes as much as three pounds, or nearly 33% of the rotor mass
• Vented castings provide increased cooling capacity over machined steel plate rotors
• Improved structural durability over drilled rotor designs
• Thread: Thru

Proper Break-In Procedure for Steel or Cast Iron Rotors

New steel/iron rotors should be bedded in before being used in racing conditions. Proper bedding will prepare the rotor surface, prolong the rotor's life, and make it more resistant to thermal checking or cracking under severe braking conditions. The following procedures should be performed when bedding in both steel and cast iron rotors. It is best to bed in a new rotor using a used set of pads, preferably ones which will not create heat rapidly. Generating heat too rapidly will thermal shock the rotors. Likewise, when bedding in a new set of brake pads it is best to perform the process on a used rotor. This new/used bedding process permits controlled bedding of each individual component.
