When it comes to your BMW Z3, you want braking performance that matches its spirited personality. The Power Stop Autospecialty Brake Rotor Rear is designed specifically for the 1996-2002 models, ensuring a perfect fit and exceptional performance for daily driving, aggressive street use, and even occasional track days. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these rotors a must-have for your ride.

Features of Power Stop Autospecialty Brake Rotors

  • Cross Drilled and Slotted Design: This unique design helps to keep your rotors cool by allowing heat, gas, and brake dust to escape efficiently. The combination of holes and slots not only enhances performance but also provides a more responsive brake pedal feel.
  • Optimal Heat Dissipation: With the ability to run 50-200 degrees cooler than OEM discs, these rotors combat brake fade, ensuring you can stop confidently, whether you're cruising through city streets or tackling twisty mountain roads.
  • Custom Engineering: Each rotor is CAD-designed for a precise fit on your BMW Z3. No modifications are needed, making installation a breeze.
  • Durable Coating: The silver or gold zinc dichromate coating protects against rust and corrosion, extending the life of your rotors and maintaining their performance.
  • Enhanced Wet Weather Performance: The cross-drilled holes allow water to flow through, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and improving braking in wet conditions.
  • Double Disc Grinding: This process ensures that both sides of the rotor are even, eliminating runout and taper for smooth, reliable braking.
