Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Your disc brake rotors are seriously important for stopping safely. They work with the brake pads, using friction to slow you down. Over time, they can wear out, warp, or even crack. City driving in a Fiat 500 or giving it heaps in an Alfa Romeo 155 really puts them to the test.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing or grinding like crazy?
• Brake pedal vibrating?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Rotors looking cracked or grooved?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Worries?
Dodgy brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above a minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test. No worries, we'll help you sort it.

Fitment Notes

• Always do both rotors at the same time so the braking is even.
• Alfa Romeo 155 owners, double-check the rotor size for your engine and model.
