Genuine Acura Brake Rotors

You rely on the factory in your Acura car or SUV to help you slow or come to a stop. To do so, all parts of the system need to work together. Your brake rotors, which are the discs attached to the wheels' hubs, are an essential component. They clamp to the brake calipers, which have brake pads attached to protect against metal-on-metal damage. All three parts rub together to create the resistance that you need to slow down. As a bonus, rotors help disperse the heat that's produced by the braking process.

There are four types of automotive brake rotors. They are:

Blank and smooth brake rotors: also known as smooth rotors, these are best for everyday use, easy on the brake pads, and resist rust and cracking. They can either be solid or vented.

Slotted brake rotors: these have spiral grooves on the surface that enable them to get rid of dust and contaminants more easily.

Drilled brake rotors: also called cross-drilled, these feature larger surface areas with holes drilled completely through them. That helps them dissipate heat better, and makes them more reliable on wet roads.

Drilled and slotted brake rotors: this kind combines the best features offered by both slotted and cross-drilled brake rotors to deliver outstanding braking performance in all conditions.

Most cars feature blank and smooth rotors, while SUVs tend to be equipped with either slotted or drilled brake rotors. High performance models are best off using drilled and slotted brake rotors.

Even the best brake rotors can go bad, unfortunately. Signs of this include surface damage, wobbling brakes, and weird noises when braking. If you aren't experiencing any of these symptoms, you should expect to replace yours every 70,000 miles.
