Why choose TAROX discs?
They're expensive, right? Reassuringly so, yeah. Here's why...
All TAROX performance brake discs are based on original equipment specification, TUV approved castings, heat treated for strength and hand finished to ensure the flattest possible braking surface. We take a high quality product that is already complete and certified as fit for use, and we make it better.
How do we do this?
First up is our heat treatment. Precision heat treatment of metals is a method of unifying the microstructure of the alloy to improve strength and hardness resulting in a better brake disc. It's just science, Google it. We have perfected our heat treatment technique specific to brake discs through decades of experience.
The heat treated disc then receives one of our performance disc facings. They're all functional, nothing just for show. You won't find any dimples on a TAROX disc. Each style that we offer is purposeful in its own unique way and all of them offer increased performance over a standard disc. Whether you're looking for improved pedal feel, cooler operating temperatures, or a bit of both, you'll get a disc that performs as good as it looks.
After machining, the discs are treated to a special anti rust coating. We want our discs to continue to look amazing on your car for their entire lifespan, not just when you unbox them. Using Cataphoresis (more science), a special electronically controlled coating is applied which is super durable and will not burn off. It protects the unswept parts of the disc from the elements, even the internal cooling ventilation of the disc is protected.
Finally, both disc surfaces are simultaneously polished on bespoke hand operated machinery. This crucial process ensures that the surfaces are both perfectly parallel and perfectly flat. The surface of a TAROX disc is machined to a tolerance approaching 0.05mm. The process of achieving a perfectly flat surface not only enables the brake pad to bed in quickly and more effectively, but it reduces the chances of the disc developing lateral oscillation (run out). A perfectly machined part with a high shine and oozing quality is just the icing on the cake. Fun Fact: the machines used for this process are recalibrated every three runs.

F2000
First developed for use in touring cars over 20 years ago and often found in the TAROX range of big brake kits, the F2000 has forged a reputation as the toughest performance aftermarket brake disc available. We have even observed a number of high end vehicle manufacturers using F2000 ‘style’ discs on their range topping models.
G88
The G88’s grooves feature an edge to edge design, ensuring absolute maximum dissipation of heat, while incorporating a chamfered leading edge, which ensures that the life of the brake pad is not decreased. The unique grooves allow the G88 to run cooler than any other performance brake disc tested against it. Available for discs up to 330mm.
Sport Japan
Sport Japan discs are one of the only aftermarket performance discs to still feature fully drilled holes. To ensure ultimate performance and durability all Sport Japan discs feature countersunk holes strategically placed so as not to affect the discs structural integrity. An additional 6 grooves on the braking surface act like a wiper, keeping the brake pad from glazing and removing excess dust while providing additional cooling.
D95
Unlike many competitor discs, our D95 pattern features fully drilled holes which are countersunk to help prevent surface fracturing. Providing a path for hot gases and water to escape, the holes in the D95 pattern create a disc ideal for those needing a solution where ultimate cooling takes precedence over longevity and noise.
ZERO
Although plain in appearance, the ZERO discs are far from an original disc. TAROX ZERO discs are made from special high grade casts submitted to several levels of heat treatment. An outstanding resistance to high temperatures prevents warping and cracks. The final hand finishing leaves them incredibly smooth allowing them to mate to pads efficiently, increasing life of the disc and pad.
