SHW Performance AFL45005 Smooth Lightweight Two-Piece Brake Rotor

The SHW Performance AFL45005 Smooth Lightweight Brake Rotor delivers OE-quality stopping power with advanced engineering designed for high-performance vehicles. As one of the world's leading brake disc manufacturers supplying directly to OEM, SHW Performance now offers the identical products, expertise and service directly to consumers, providing true OE replacement parts with motorsport-derived technology.

Patented Pin-Drive System Technology:

This two-piece fully floating disc brake rotor features a friction ring connected to the central aluminum rotor bell by stainless steel pins cast into the assembly during manufacturing. By offsetting the pin connection away from center to the edge, cooling channels see up to 50% improved air flow, dramatically reducing core and surface temperatures for consistent braking performance.

Key Features:

• Up to 5.5 lbs weight reduction per disc compared to monoblock rotors, reducing unsprung and rotating mass
• Smooth friction ring surface for quiet, progressive braking feel
• Reduced thermal strain with friction ring freedom to expand and contract
• Manufactured to perform under extreme heat cycles and withstand corrosion in harsh environments
• Lightweight composite construction with aluminum bell and cast iron friction ring
• Entirely in-house manufacturing encompassing every step, including aluminum and iron casting plants

SHW Performance manufactures pin-drive brake rotors jointly developed with BMW Motorsport in 1993, bringing motorsport-derived rotors installed from factory on BMW M-series and Mercedes AMG vehicles. This rotor provides a direct OE replacement with improved thermal management and weight savings for enhanced vehicle dynamics and braking performance.
