If you're serious about your ride, you know that the brakes are just as important as the engine. That's where SP Performance comes in. Founded back in the mid-90s in Long Island, New York, this brand has made a name for itself in the world of performance brake components. They focus on delivering high-quality rotors and pads that can handle the demands of both truck enthusiasts and speed junkies alike. It’s not just about stopping; it’s about stopping with confidence.

Take their Cross Drilled Brake Rotors, for instance. These rotors are a favorite among performance car manufacturers—think Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. They all come equipped with cross-drilled rotors straight from the factory. SP Performance has taken this concept and really run with it. One of the standout features is how they’ve eliminated the sharp edges around the drilled holes. This isn’t just a minor tweak; it significantly reduces the risk of cracking and helps keep the rotor temperature down. Why does that matter? Because cooler rotors mean less heat checking and warping, which translates to longer-lasting performance.

But it doesn’t stop there. These cross-drilled holes also help with hydroplaning. If you’ve ever hit a puddle and felt your brakes go soft, you know how scary that can be. With SP Performance rotors, water can escape easily, preventing that dangerous situation. Plus, all their rotors are made to OEM specs, machine balanced, and double disc ground, so you won’t need to make any major modifications to your brake system.

And let’s talk aesthetics for a second—these rotors come in several finishes, including Bright Silver Zinc Plating, Black Zinc Plating, or a Gray Zinc Coating. So you can choose a look that fits your ride.

Features:

• Each rotor is meticulously analyzed to ensure the best pattern for strength and durability.
• The chamfer design maximizes air circulation while minimizing sharp edges, which helps reduce heat checking and extends the life of both the rotor and pads.
• Available finishes include Bright Silver Zinc, Black Zinc, or Gray ZRC Paint.
• Designed using CAD software and produced on CNC machines for top-notch quality and consistent performance.

Fitment:

• Acura MDX 2014-2016

For those driving an Acura MDX from 2014 to 2016, the C19-0083-BP SP Performance Cross Drilled Vented 5 Lug Rear 300mm Brake Rotor with Black Zinc Coating is a perfect match. It’s all about giving you the reliability and performance you need, whether you’re hitting the highway or tackling some back roads.
