• Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a durable gold zinc plating that resists rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the rotor.
• Stress Riser Resistance: Counter-sunk holes and stress-relief features help prevent cracking and stress fractures under heavy braking.
• Wet Weather Braking: Enhanced design improves braking performance in wet conditions, reducing stopping distances and increasing safety.
• Direct Replacement: No modifications needed—simply swap out your old rotors for these high-performance replacements.

Construction & Design

The PowerStop EBR1658 rear brake rotor is manufactured from high-quality cast iron, ensuring excellent thermal stability and durability. The rotor features a precision-machined surface that guarantees smooth contact with brake pads, reducing uneven wear and noise. Its design incorporates oversized drill holes to facilitate heat dissipation, which helps maintain consistent braking performance during aggressive driving or heavy loads.

The corrosion-resistant gold zinc plating not only enhances the rotor's appearance but also provides a protective barrier against rust and environmental elements. The counter-sunk holes are engineered to minimize stress risers, significantly reducing the risk of cracking over time. Overall, the rotor's construction balances strength, heat management, and longevity, making it a reliable upgrade for your BMW i3's braking system.

Performance & Sound

Designed to restore and enhance your vehicle's braking capabilities, the PowerStop Autospecialty rotors deliver improved stopping power and reduced brake fade. While specific horsepower or torque gains are not applicable to brake rotors, users can expect more responsive braking with shorter stopping distances and better pad bite. The high-quality materials and precise manufacturing process help ensure quiet operation and smooth braking feel, even under demanding conditions.
