Design & Engineering Excellence

The A.B.S 18387 Brake DISCS feature a meticulously engineered ventilated design that allows air to flow through the disc, reducing heat buildup during heavy braking. This cooling mechanism is critical for maintaining brake performance and preventing fade in demanding driving scenarios such as spirited track sessions or mountainous terrain.

The discs are manufactured from high‑grade cast iron, chosen for its excellent wear resistance and ability to absorb vibrations. The material’s inherent toughness ensures that the discs can withstand repeated thermal cycling without cracking or warping.

Performance Characteristics

• Consistent Stopping Power: The smooth surface and precise machining provide a stable friction interface, resulting in predictable brake response.
• Heat Management: Ventilation channels effectively dissipate heat, keeping the discs within safe operating temperatures even during prolonged braking.
• Noise Reduction: The engineered geometry minimizes vibration and noise, offering a quieter driving experience compared to standard aftermarket options.

Installation Guide

Installing the A.B.S 18387 Brake DISCS is straightforward for experienced mechanics or knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts. Follow these steps:

1. Remove Old Discs: Safely lift the vehicle, remove wheel hubs, and detach the existing brake discs.
2. Inspect Components: Check rotors, calipers, and pads for wear or damage before proceeding.
3. Mount New Discs: Align the new discs with the hub mounting points and secure them using the supplied hardware.
4. Reinstall Calipers: Attach brake calipers to the new discs, ensuring proper alignment of pistons.
5. Torque Specifications: Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque values (typically 80–100 Nm for hub bolts).
6. Brake Fluid Check: Verify brake fluid levels and top up if necessary.
7. Test Drive: Perform a short test drive, checking for any unusual noises or vibrations.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• Regularly inspect brake pads for wear; replace them when pad thickness falls below the manufacturer’s minimum.
• Keep the disc surface clean by removing debris and brake dust with a non‑abrasive cleaner.
• Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the disc surface.
• Check for signs of warping, such as uneven braking or vibration at high speeds.
