About Thermo Stability Profiling

Our 4000 series brake rotors can handle extreme applications thanks to Thermo Stability Profiling or TSP.

This unique process provides greater thermal stability than standard street discs. TSP enhances the microstructure of the disc rotor for performance applications.

Greater thermal stability allows your discs to take more heat, making them more stable under heavy braking for longer. TSP also means improved brake pad and disc rotor life, and delayed brake fade.




About Thermo Graphic Paint Monitoring



4000 series rotors also incorporate Thermo-Graphic heat paint marking which change color at specific temperature thresholds.

By monitoring the markings, drivers can check their braking performance quickly and easily.


About The 6x6 "Wiper Slot" Design




The 6x6 'wiper-slot' design efficiently clears gases, dust and debris, while maintaining consistent brake friction and a cleaner disc rotor surface.

The directional slotted design is made for both left-hand and right-hand rotors.

The 6x6 'wiper-slot' design is featured on the 4000 series 6x6 Wiper-Slot rotor.


DO I NEED TO MAKE OTHER CHANGES TO FIT PERFORMANCE ROTORS?

No, just choose the exact model specified for your car. The diameter and thickness specifications of all Street Series rotors are the same as with original equipment components, so they bolt straight into the standard braking system.

The ‘minimum thickness’ (stamped onto the disc) also remains the same, as the rotor’s improved cooling properties compensate for the slightly reduced mass.

However you must remember that, as you are asking your brake system to do more work, it must be in first class condition. This means the caliper slides, caliper springs and disc brake pistons must be operating freely, while a general check of all other parts of the system is a good idea. We recommend you use brake fluid of at least Dot 4 standard and new, high quality brake pads. These can be any pads made by a recognized manufacturer, but make sure you observe the recommended ‘bedding-in’ procedures.

Equally important: if you remove and reinstall the pads for inspection, make sure you put them back the same way they came out. If reversed, the slightly raised lip of what was previously the pad’s trailing edge can catch in the groove, causing increased heat and noise.

Lastly, we don’t recommend mixing conventional and Street Series rotors on the same axle. The difference in performance from side-to-side will upset the braking balance of the vehicle.

 
About Kangaroo Paw Design



Our Kangaroo Paw delivers significantly improved braking performance under all conditions to make you safer than ever before.

The innovative Kangaroo Paw design runs cooler, is stronger, and outperforms traditional straight vane disc brake rotors.

So what makes it work so well? To answer this, let’s look at a car’s braking system. This system is critical in terms of vehicle safety and performance. Being able to stop reliably, time after time, under heavy braking conditions can mean life or death.

Every time the brakes are used massive pressure is built up through the braking system. The force your foot applies at the brake pedal is multiplied many times at the disc rotors, creating friction and extreme heat.

The extreme heat can cause disc rotors to warp, distort and in some cases fail. Traditionally, heat is removed as air flows through the rotor passing between straight ‘cooling vanes’. However, the straight vane design does not provide the ideal conditions for heat to be dissipated and tends to allow an unwanted ballooning effect.

Kangaroo Paw disc rotors will quickly remove the heat, cool the discs, and return to optimal operating temperatures ready for the next braking application – without this ballooning.

The Kangaroo Paw features 144 precisely positioned diamond and tear-drop pillars. The pillars create greater strength, reliability, and a more efficient cooling system. Greater surface area means more rapid heat dissipation.

Cool air flows in from the center of the disc, while hot air is forced to the outside of the disc - regardless of rotational direction. The pillars provide greater strength across the disc rotor and reduce the tendency for disc distortion.

More efficient cooling improves brake pad and disc rotor life, and helps reduce brake fade.

That’s why the Kangaroo Paw system is so effective.

Available across a range of products for most popular vehicles, it’s the greatest advance in brake rotor design for decades – guaranteed!


Are Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors hard on Brake Pads?

A more powerful engine uses more fuel, and it stands to reason that if brakes do more work, or generate more energy, they must suffer more wear. In the original planning stage we predicted a 10 per cent increase in pad wear. After all, the holes and slots would be abrasive on the pads and, with less metal-to-pad friction area, we expected more rotor wear too.

Yet the on-road results have surprised us. In normal usage, pad wear is generally no greater, and rotor wear is sometimes extended.
Testing on high-mileage taxis has shown a totally unexpected benefit. One leading taxi company using the Street Series rotors on its fleet has reported that they can last up to 150,000km with no machining.

This is three times the company norm, and has been achieved without any additional pad wear (the pads continue to be changed at the normal 25,000km intervals).

The reason for the improvement relates to the shaving effect of the slots, which ensure improved contact between pad and rotors, plus the lower running temperatures. Should high-mileage Street Series rotors require machining, this must be performed on a modern, high-speed, low-feed brake lathe. The correct procedure is for the technician to machine from the hub to the outer edge, taking 0.25mm (.001’) in each pass.

A word of caution: machine in the one direction only: when feeding back, the technician should withdraw the tools and recommence from the hub to avoid tip damage and repeat until required finish is achieved. Cross-drilling and slotting remove not only weight but also friction surface (or ‘swept’ area). The figures are relatively small and the enhanced performance shows that the reduction in swept area is more than made up for by the improved ventilation that cross-drilling and slotting achieves.

For the record, the four disc rotors on a typical big sedan have a total swept area of 351.5cm2. The cross-drilling on a Gold rotor removes 22.9cm2, while the slots take away another 5.4cm2. That’s a total of 28.3cm2, or 8.1 per cent of the surface area.

HPS - High Performance Street Brake Compound

Superior Stopping Power
HPS -
High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicle's braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance’s HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports' severe-duty friction technology.

The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..
