Evosport | New 390mm Performance Brake Rotors
More info: http://www.evosport.com/product/prod...VO.BRK.M39.RF1
In stock. Ready to ship.
Designed as a direct brake rotor replacement for the OE 390mm 2-piece front brake rotors (no modifications are necessary), and work with the factory AMG brake calipers. The Evosport rotors offer a significant improvement in cooling and brake performance over factory brake rotors- over 50% more air for improved cooling and reduced brake fade on street or track. In addition, not only will the upgraded "floating" rotor design help mitigate brake fade, but they are lighter than stock and reduce unsprung weight on the front axle. This means better acceleration, braking and cornering.
To minimize casting requirements, the stock OE rotors are designed to be used on either Left or Right side (single part number) utilizing an inferior pillard vent design. This does not allow for the most efficient flow of air. The Evosport rotors have a specific Left and Right application to allow correct and proper venting and the most efficient channeling of air.
The Evosport rotors provide a much great ROI and lower cost of ownership by allowing you to replace just the outer ring of your rotor during brake replacement (few hundred dollars). The stock OE rotors require you purchase the entire rotor assembly, and often times they can only be purchased in pairs (several thousands of dollars).
The hats on the Evosport rotors are made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum. Engineered directional vents on each hat dramatically optimizes cooling and further improves airflow.
Drive pin washers made of strong Inconel (used in military, aircraft engines and racing applications) are practically impervious to oxidation or corrosion. Curved design on the drive pin washer add additional tension to the assembly thus reducing rattle.
Each rotor is silver zinc coated for anti-corrosion, mitigating surface rust on the vents and rotor. Zinc coating also benefits customers who live in colder climates where snow and road salt is encountered.
Rotors are 100% made in the USA.
Application:
- C63 (W204) AMG Black Series Coupe
- CLS63 (W219) w/ P30 Performance Package (not for cars w/ Ceramic Brakes)
- SLS (C197) (not for cars w/ Ceramic Brakes)
- SL65 (R230) (not Black Series)
- SL63 (R230) w/ P30 Performance Package
- SL55 R230 P98/Black Series
- COMING SOON: 390 Upgrade Kit for vehicles with 360mm brake rotors.
*PLEASE NOTE A VIN MAY BE REQUESTED TO VERIFY FITMENT. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FITMENT QUESTIONS.
Benefits:
- Direct bolt-on design requires no modification
- Works with OE AMG calipers
- Lightweight design (10-lbs unsprung weight savings over stock on front axle)
- 7075 aluminum hat, hard anodized (Black)
- Directional vents on hats further improve cooling and airflow
- Inconel drive pin washers
- Better value and cost of ownership over OE
- Unique Left/Right application for proper venting/airflow (unlike OE)
- Replaceable discs and hardware
- Better heat dissipation and less brake fade
- Improved acceleration, braking and cornering with less unsprung weight!
Fronts and Rears also available as a kit or separately:
- FRONT and REAR Performance Rotor Kit
- REAR Performance Rotor Kit

2005 SL55 AMG
Rotors SL55
We just ordered rotors for my SL55 from you and they should be arriving in NY any day now. Which rotors will I be getting, I assume the regular 360mm with the gray hats? Other than the size and color of the hat is there any difference?

360mm. All our hats are now black anodized.

Evosport 390mm brake rotor on CLS55 AMG

It will fit into most 19" wheels. Some 19" wheels with very aggressive steps and small barrels may post a challenge. If it's a 19" factory wheel, it will usually always fit.
We just installed a set on another CLS 55 running the factory 19" CLK63 Black Series wheels and fit was perfect. Will post photos if anyone is interested.

Have you guys tested these rotors (or your lightweight 360mm for that matter) on a road course? I'm a bit worried that the wider vent in the friction surface (and therefore reduced thermal mass) would cause temperatures to get hotter and may contribute to premature brake fade.
Also how much does a pair of replacement outer rings cost?

Outer rings are $369-$399.
$2,100 for 390mm front set including the adapters and hardware.

This is what I mean:
I assume this wider vent is where the majority of the weigh savings comes from. I'm curious if the increased air flow makes up for the decreased mass in terms of ability to dissipate heat.

Hmm, don't SL65 have different piston diameters vs the stock 55/600 cars?
In other words, using the same caliper and up-sizing the rotor would throw off the brake balance quite a bit.

so this is going to sound like a noob question but im sure within the next year I will be replacing all 4 of my rotors. So if I dont track my car, just for everyday driving is it necessary or what is the advantage of getting a set of these rotors for around $2k if I can get a set of mb oem rotors for less than half that?

Yes.
The thicknesses we are dealing with do not affect cracking. And again, the picture is our evo1 rotor design. Our new evo2 360mm rotor have wider plates.

The benefits can be realized for everyday driving and certainly not only for cars that get tracked. In addition to better long term return since you only need to replace the outer ring next time, plus better heat dissipation means it's easier on your brake components and less degradation over time.
