The Brembo 09.D174.53 is a premium Dual Cast two-piece front brake rotor featuring advanced UV coating technology and pillar-vented design. This OE-equivalent rotor is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for Audi applications requiring OE# 8V0615301R.
Dual Cast Construction:
This exclusive Brembo design combines a high-carbon cast iron braking surface with an aluminum hat, delivering the thermal performance advantages of cast iron at high temperatures while significantly reducing unsprung weight. This lightweight construction positively impacts vehicle handling, acceleration, and braking response while minimizing thermal deformation.
Advanced UV Coating Technology:
The environmentally friendly, solvent-free UV coating provides superior corrosion protection for the entire disc, including the braking surfaces. This coating maintains the rotor's clean aesthetic appearance while ensuring reliable long-term performance and maximum resistance to environmental elements.
High Carbon Cast Iron:
Brembo's proprietary high-carbon alloy formulation shortens cooling times and significantly reduces brake noise and vibration, resulting in enhanced driving comfort and consistent pedal feel. The higher carbon content also improves thermal stability and resistance to warping.
Pillar Vented Technology (PVT):
The patented pillar-vented design features strategically positioned cooling pillars that increase air circulation through the rotor, improving heat dissipation and increasing resistance to thermal cracking by more than 40% compared to conventional vented designs.
Key Specifications:
- Rotor Diameter: 370mm (14.57 inches)
- Nominal Thickness: 34mm (1.339 inches)
- Construction: Two-piece vented design
- Material: High-carbon cast iron braking surface with aluminum hat
- Surface: Solid face (non-drilled, non-slotted)

- OE Part Number: 8V0615301R (also supersedes 8V0615301Q)
Installation and Maintenance:
Each rotor includes intelligent marking showing the part number and minimum thickness specification for easy inspection. A complete fixing screw kit with all necessary hardware is included for straightforward installation. Brembo recommends replacing rotors and brake pads together to optimize and restore braking performance. This rotor pairs ideally with Brembo NAO/Ceramic or Low-Met brake pad formulations.
Backed by Brembo's reputation as the most trusted name in braking systems, this rotor delivers OE-quality performance with advanced engineering for discerning drivers seeking premium brake components.
