Recommended types of brakes for sports cars
There are several types of braking systems that are suitable for sports cars. Here are the most recommended ones:
1. Ventilated disc brakes
Ventilated disc brakes are an excellent choice for sports cars. They are designed with channels or slots that allow better heat dissipation, which prevents the brakes from overheating during heavy braking. This is especially important in sports cars, where high speeds generate a lot of heat in the discs.
SDT Brakes' ventilated discs are an ideal choice, as they are made from high quality materials that ensure greater heat resistance and durability in extreme driving conditions.
2. Perforated or slotted discs
Perforated discs are also very popular on sports cars because of their ability to improve cooling and reduce brake pad wear. We do not recommend them as they weaken the discs and the sudden changes in temperature or constant track work will cause them to crack or warp sooner than a grooved disc.
Slotted discs allow air to flow through the discs, helping to reduce heat build-up. In addition, the main function of these discs is to clean the dirt from worn pad material and to clean the braking surface, which improves performance in sporty riding conditions.
3.High performance brake pads
Brake pads are another key component for sports cars. High-performance pads are designed with materials that provide greater heat resistance and better friction, allowing for more effective braking at higher speeds. It is important to choose brake pads that do not wear out quickly, as sports cars tend to generate more heat due to the high demands on the braking system.
In the SDT Brakes product line, you will find brake pads with advanced compounds that offer consistent and durable braking, even under the most extreme conditions.
