Front TAROX Brake Rotors – VOLKSWAGEN Passat Mk3/4 (351) (88-96) 2.0 16v 5 stud
$445.71
Why choose TAROX rotors?
They're expensive, right? Reassuringly so, yeah. Here's why...
All TAROX performance brake rotors 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 rotor. It's just science, Google it. We have perfected our heat treatment technique specific to brake rotors through decades of experience.
The heat treated rotor 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 setup. Each style that we offer is purposeful in its own unique way and all of them offer increased performance over a standard part. Whether you're looking for improved pedal feel, cooler operating temperatures, or a bit of both, you'll get a rotor that performs as good as it looks.
After machining, the rotors are treated to a special anti rust coating. We want our brakes 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 rotor from the elements, even the internal cooling ventilation of the rotor is protected.
Finally, both braking 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 rotor 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 rotor available. We have even observed a number of high end vehicle manufacturers using F2000 ‘style’ rotors on their range topping models.
Sport Japan
Sport Japan rotors are one of the only aftermarket performance discs to still feature fully drilled holes. To ensure ultimate performance and durability all Sport Japan rotors feature countersunk holes strategically placed so as not to affect the discs structural integrity. An additional 6 slots on the braking surface act like a wiper, keeping the brake pad from glazing and removing excess dust while providing additional cooling.
