Does diameter affect braking force?
The greater the diameter of the disc, the further from the centre of the wheel the braking force can be applied. This in turn will generate a greater braking force, or torque, on the disc. However, there are limits to how big a disc you can fit, generally set by the size of the wheel.
Are all brake rotors the same?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to judge the quality of a rotor by its appearance alone. An economy rotor may appear to be nearly identical to a premium-quality rotor, but the metallurgy is often far different. There are many different grades of cast iron, and some make much better brake rotors than others.
How do you measure the size of a VW brake rotor?
In most cases, by knowing the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (OD) of your brake rotor you’ll be able to determine the correct brake kit. However, sometimes both the rotor’s outside diameter (OD) and hat height may be needed (see below). Flip the VW brake rotor over to its back and measure across to determine the outside diameter.
Where can I find the brake rotor part number?
The easiest and most reliable way to ensure you’re ordering the correct brake rotor is to find the PART NUMBER on the existing rotor (see image). Wheel removal is required. For verification purposes, Blauparts has begun listing the part number in some brake kit product descriptions (when multiple choices exist).
