Choose your Tarox disc style
G88 – maximum cooling and bite
The iconic Tarox G88 features multiple radial grooves that create a turbine effect to dissipate heat and gases. This helps the discs run cooler and reduces the risk of warping, vibration and cracking. Based on OE specification TUV approved castings, G88 discs are heat treated for strength and hand finished for the smoothest possible surface. Many applications are TUV and ABE approved by the German KBA.
F2000 – fast road and track day balance
Tarox F2000 discs use curved grooves to deglaze pads and keep temperatures under control. With fewer grooves than G88, F2000 strikes a superb balance between heat dissipation and structural strength, making it a favourite for drivers who mix daily road use with spirited driving and track days. Pair with Tarox Corsa pads for dedicated track sessions.
Sport Japan – drilled and grooved performance
Sport Japan is one of the only aftermarket performance discs to feature fully drilled, countersunk holes for effective gas venting to reduce brake fade, combined with six grooves to prevent pad glazing. Manufactured from OE specification TUV approved castings, heat treated and hand finished. TUV approved for most applications.
Why choose Tarox for your E46 330 and 330d
- Proven since the early 1980s with a focus on absolute quality and consistency
- Stress relieving heat treatment after each machining phase for durability under repeated heavy braking
- CNC machining and in-house custom processes ensure precise geometry and balance
- Individually ground by a specialist operator for that distinctive Tarox mirror-like finish and smooth, quiet operation
- Works best with Tarox pads, formulated to match heat treated discs

Fitting and support
For professional fitting we recommend Nforcd in Warwickshire. Request a fitting quote at Sales@nforcd.com. Always confirm your existing disc diameter and specification before ordering.
Manufacturing detail
Blank castings that pass strict quality control are machined on CNC turning centres and, for G88, on custom in-house machinery. Each disc undergoes structural stress relieving heat treatment after each machining phase, then receives a final precision grind by hand to achieve an ultra-flat, true surface. The result is consistent friction, excellent pad contact and long term stability under heat.
