Brake discs are a matched component, not a generic one. Diameter, thickness, hat height, vane design and material all follow the brake code on your vehicle's data record rather than the model name — and on European performance cars, two apparently identical vehicles frequently take different discs depending on which brake package was optioned.
We supply genuine OEM discs across every marque we serve, including drilled, slotted, two-piece and carbon ceramic. Send us your VIN or brake code and we will confirm before you order.
Replace discs and pads together where the disc is worn. New pads bedding onto a lipped, heat-cracked or unevenly worn disc compromise both and bring the car back sooner. Where the disc shows measurable thickness variation, replace the pair.
Carbon ceramic is a different system. CCM discs require ceramic-specific pad compounds — conventional pads destroy the friction layer within a single service interval, and ceramic discs cannot be resurfaced. Replacement is the only remedy, at many times the cost of the pads responsible.
Vibration under braking is thickness variation, not warping. Discs rarely warp in the literal sense. What produces the pulsing pedal is uneven pad material transfer or thickness variation across the friction face, often from parking hot with the brake applied.
Cars that stand corrode. Surface rust clears with normal use, but pitting under a pad parked against a wet disc does not. On stored cars, inspect rather than assume the discs are serviceable — this is the most common disc failure on low-mileage collection cars.
Heat is the limiting factor here. Gulf ambient temperatures mean discs run hotter and closer to their fade threshold than the European design case assumed, which is a real argument for staying with factory-specification material.

My brake pedal pulses — are the discs warped? Almost certainly not warped in the literal sense. It is thickness variation or uneven pad transfer across the friction face. Replacement is usually the fix; skimming rarely is on modern thin discs.
Do I have to replace pads with discs? Yes if the pads are part worn or of a different compound. New discs need pads that will bed to them evenly.
How do I know which discs my car takes? The brake code on your vehicle data record determines it. Send us your VIN and we will confirm diameter, thickness and type.
My brakes squeal after new discs. Usually compound mismatch, missing shims or incomplete bedding. Read our guide on why brakes squeal →
