Description
Enhance the braking performance, reliability, and appearance of your BMW 1 Series with TAROX Front Performance Brake Rotors. Designed specifically for the BMW E81 and E87 116i models producing 115HP, these premium vented brake discs are manufactured to exact OE specifications and upgraded using TAROX's renowned engineering processes to deliver superior braking performance for both spirited road driving and demanding performance applications.
Each kit includes a complete pair of front brake rotors, consisting of one left-hand and one right-hand disc, ensuring a direct replacement fit with exceptional quality and durability.
Rotor Designs Available
• F2000 – Features TAROX's signature long curved groove pattern designed to improve pad bite, enhance gas evacuation, reduce brake fade, and provide excellent pedal feel during aggressive driving.
• Sport Japan – Precision drilled and slotted design engineered to improve cooling efficiency, maintain consistent braking performance, and provide an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance.
Why Choose TAROX Brake Rotors?
TAROX performance brake rotors begin with high-quality, TÜV-approved castings manufactured to original equipment specifications. These castings are then extensively upgraded through a series of proprietary processes developed over decades of brake engineering experience.
Precision Heat Treatment
Every rotor undergoes a specialized heat treatment process designed to optimize the microstructure of the alloy. This process improves overall strength, durability, and thermal stability, helping the rotor withstand repeated heat cycles while maintaining consistent braking performance.
Performance Disc Machining
Following heat treatment, each rotor is machined with a performance-facing design selected to improve braking characteristics. Every groove, slot, and drilled pattern serves a functional purpose, enhancing brake response, heat dissipation, pad cleaning, and resistance to brake fade.
Advanced Anti-Corrosion Protection
To maintain both performance and appearance, every rotor receives a durable Cataphoresis anti-rust coating. This electronically applied protective finish shields unswept rotor surfaces and internal ventilation channels from corrosion and environmental exposure without burning away during normal operation.
Precision Surface Finishing
TAROX brake rotors are hand-finished using specialized machinery that simultaneously polishes both braking surfaces. This process ensures the discs are perfectly parallel and exceptionally flat, achieving machining tolerances approaching 0.05 mm.
The benefits of this precision finishing include:
• Faster brake pad bedding-in.
• Improved brake pad contact.
• Reduced likelihood of rotor runout and lateral oscillation.
• Smoother braking performance.
• Enhanced pedal feel and consistency.
The finishing equipment used during production is recalibrated every three machining cycles to maintain the highest possible manufacturing standards.
