Detailed information on the different products that we offer:
BRAKE SYSTEM:
Rotora Street Challenge:
Rotora's high-performance Street Challenge Brake System enables superior brake modulation while improving overall pedal feel to ensure equal distribution of weight transfer when braking. To achieve this proportional front-to-rear brake bias, Rotora’s brake systems are strategically engineered to work in conjunction with the original vehicle stock master cylinder thereby producing shorter stopping distances. In using larger calipers and discs made with stronger, lighter weight material, Rotora Brake System’s thermal capacity and brake torque is increased over the vehicles original brake system. These are the design enhancements that are demanded in high-performance street and track vehicles. All Rotora Brake Systems are fully compatible with ABS and traction control systems. All brake components are direct bolt-on systems for production vehicles with minimal modifications required.
COMPONENTS/FEATURES:
-Rotora forged aluminum calipers with sequentially sized piston bore sizes engineered to each specific vehicle and to minimize pad taper wear for longer pad life.
-All Rotora calipers are fully forged (2024-T6) for optimal strength, stiffness and light weight.
-High temperature dust boots are included to reduce caliper maintenance.
-Rotora two-piece constructed billet 6061-T6 forged aluminum hat to reduce heat related stress and unsprung weight.
-Rotora Anti-Rattle Float Drive Hardware for two-piece discs systems to allow discs to expand and contract under extreme usage.
-Rotora 1 or 2-piece directional vented (heat treated) discs to increase airflow/cooling under severe braking. Slotted or drilled/slotted oversize discs up to 16” (405 x 36mm) to ensure increase thermal capacity while relieving the disc and brake pad surface free of excess debris. All discs are coated with anti-corrosion zinc plating as added rust protection.
-Rotora 7075-T6 billet aluminum forged caliper bracket (depending on application) to reduce unsprung weight.
-Rotora’s range from ceramic to carbon metal brake pads are designed to accommodate street to extreme track use with high co-efficient of friction and high temperature fade resistance.
-Rotora DOT compliant stainless steel braided brake lines to improve stiffer pedal feel and prevent brake hose expansion.
Rotora Super Challenge:
Designed in every respect to meet the demands of full-race enthusiasts, the Super Challenge system provides not only all the benefits of a true racetrack-specific brake system, but also the durability and easy maintenance of Rotora’s current line of Street Challenge Brake Systems.
These competition kits are equipped with Rotora’s all-new Super Challenge lightweight forged 2, 4, 6 and 8-piston caliper versions. Constructed of higher strength aerospace aluminum alloy compared to Rotora’s current street application calipers, these full-race calipers are engineered to provide a 15% reduction in weight without losing stiffness and performance. Unique to the Super Challenge Calipers are the ventilated titanium piston inserts as heat barriers and anti-knockback springs loaded behind each piston to counteract pad knockback; that is demanded when it comes to hard cornering and braking on the track.
Rotora Super Challenge Brake System is also equipped with full-floating 2-piece constructed disc system using Rotora’s Extended Float Drive mounting hardware. These larger disc rings come slotted-only, heat-treated, with Rotora’s new directional staggered-design vanes to increase air flow, thermal capacity and heat dissipation. Caliper mounting brackets (7075-T6) and hats are constructed of billet 6061-T6 aluminum aerospace grade to further reduce unsprung weight. A set of Rotora’s new formulated H9 or H10 Carbon-Metal pads for endurance/sprint race comes preloaded to deliver high fade resistance with excellent bite stop after stop.
Rotora’s Super Challenge calipers and billet aluminum hats use an exclusive natural anodized finish, making them impervious to discoloration at extreme temperatures experienced in racing. DOT compliant stainless steel braided brake lines are also included to provide quicker pedal response with consistent brake pressure. Together as a unified system, all the features produce shorter stopping distances, optimum brake modulation, firmer pedal feel, and less brake fade to achieve an all-around balance between durability, reliability, and controllability.
Rotora Carbon-Ceramic Brake System (RCCBS):
Rotora introduces the latest version of Carbon-Ceramic Brake System (RCCBS), using an all-new innovative continuous fiber construction technique to ensure a significant reduction in rotational mass and uncompromised fade-free performance under all extreme driving conditions. With an improved Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) formulation, Rotora’s new innovative material further decreases thermal expansion, increases resistance to wear and operating life of the discs to many times that of conventional equivalents. RCCBS is designed exclusively for production-based vehicles including Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Range Rover, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan GT-R, Porsche, and many more to come. Rotora’s latest exotic brake system is composed with 2, 4, 6, or 8-piston lightweight-forged caliper configurations. Carbon-Ceramic disc sizes include 355mm (14”), 380mm (15”), or 405mm (16”) versions.
BRAKE PAD:
Rotora’s Ceramic, Ceramic-Metallic, and the all new Carbon-Metal brake pads are the latest high-performance street and race pads to be introduced into the aftermarket. Rotora has applied the same materials, engineering, and quality standards from the formulation used in its high performance brake systems to OEM vehicles with stock calipers. Designed for extreme street or track and hard braking applications, Rotora pads feature ceramic-carbon strengthened non-asbestos formula with a high co-efficient of friction and high temperature fade resistance with quick recovery to offer more consistent pedal feel for driver confidence. Rotora is constantly developing and refining new ceramic-carbon brake pad compounds and new variations will offer nothing but the very best in all aspects of brake controllability and reliability.

Drilled & Slotted Disc: Segmented radius drill & slot pattern for improved pad grip and reduce noise. Cleans away debris between pad and disc. Ensures heat and gas dissipation. For street and light track use, drilled & slotted is preferred.
STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINE:
Rotora Stainless Steel Brake Lines are manufactured to meet and exceed DOT Compliance and FMVSS 106 Standards. Rotora Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines provide a stiffer pedal feel by maintaining consistent brake pressure. Under extreme threshold braking, the stainless steel lines provide precision brake modulation and prevent brake hose expansion under pressure.
Rotora brake lines consist of a PTFE (Teflon®) inner line that carries the brake fluid, which is then covered with a layer of stainless steel woven braid. The PTFE tube is very resistant to expansion under pressure and will not degrade from exposure to brake fluid. The braided stainless steel provides support for the PTFE and the weave is extremely durable against incidental impact and abrasion. All Rotora stainless braided hose is coated with a blue abrasion resistant PVC cover for maximum protection against chaffing and strain relief devices reinforce end fittings.
Every Rotora brake line is 100% tested in-house to a pressure of 3,500 PSI. All fittings are engineered for proper fit and durability. All kits include fittings, hoses and all necessary hardware.
