Description
Upgrade the braking performance of your AUDI A3 (8V1) 1.2 TFSI with premium TAROX Front Brake Rotors, engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with 288mm front brake discs and PR 1ZE braking system configuration. This package includes a pair of front rotors (left and right), designed as direct OE replacements that fit straight onto the vehicle without any modifications required.
TAROX performance brake rotors are manufactured to original equipment specifications using TÜV approved castings, advanced heat treatment processes, precision machining, and hand finishing to deliver a superior braking surface and enhanced overall braking performance.
TAROX Performance Rotor Technology
OE-Based Engineering with Performance Enhancements
All TAROX brake rotors begin with high-quality OEM specification castings that are already certified for road use. These are then enhanced through advanced engineering processes to significantly improve strength, durability, and braking performance.
Precision Heat Treatment Process
Each rotor undergoes a controlled heat treatment process designed to unify the microstructure of the alloy. This improves hardness and structural integrity, resulting in increased resistance to stress, heat, and braking fatigue. This process has been refined over decades of TAROX engineering development specifically for performance braking applications.
Performance Disc Facings
TAROX rotors are available with purpose-built performance facings designed to improve braking characteristics rather than aesthetics alone. Each surface design serves a functional role in improving pedal feel, reducing operating temperatures, or enhancing wet and dry braking performance. Unlike cosmetic-only designs, all TAROX rotor facings are engineered for measurable performance improvement.
Cataphoresis Anti-Corrosion Coating
Each rotor is treated with a high-durability cataphoretic anti-rust coating that protects all non-swept areas, including internal cooling vanes. This electronically applied coating is highly resistant to heat and environmental exposure, ensuring long-lasting protection and maintaining visual quality throughout the rotor’s service life.
Precision Surface Finishing
After machining and coating, both braking surfaces are hand-finished and polished using specialized calibrated machinery. This process ensures perfect parallelism and surface flatness with tolerances approaching 0.05mm. The result is improved pad bedding, reduced vibration risk, and enhanced braking consistency. Equipment used in this process is recalibrated frequently to maintain strict quality control standards.
Available Rotor Finishes
F2000 – Long Curved Grooves
The TAROX F2000 rotor features long curved grooves designed to continuously clean the brake pad surface, improve gas evacuation, and enhance heat dispersion. This results in improved braking response, stronger pedal feel, and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions.
Sport Japan – Drilled and Slotted
The TAROX Sport Japan rotor combines precision drilling and slotting to improve heat dissipation, enhance wet braking performance, and provide a motorsport-inspired appearance. This design is ideal for drivers seeking both performance enhancement and aggressive styling.
