Choose your Tarox disc style
G88
The most recognisable Tarox disc. Multiple precision radial grooves are machined using custom-built equipment to generate a turbine effect that helps dissipate heat. This cooler running reduces the likelihood of warping, vibration or cracking during hard use. Based on OE-spec TÜV approved castings, heat treated and hand finished.
F2000
The ideal fast road and track day solution. Curved grooves deglaze pads, clear gases and maintain a stable friction layer while striking the right balance between heat dissipation and disc strength. Based on OE-spec TÜV approved castings, heat treated and hand finished. Pair perfectly with Tarox Corsa pads for serious track day performance.
Sport Japan
Developed for drivers who want high performance with aggressive styling. Features fully drilled, countersunk holes that vent gases effectively to combat brake fade, plus 6 straight grooves to prevent pad glazing. Based on OE-spec TÜV approved castings, heat treated and hand finished. TÜV approved for most applications.
Performance benefits
- Improved bite and modulation for confident braking
- Excellent heat management for reduced brake fade
- Smooth, stable braking thanks to precision-ground surfaces
- Strong, durable discs due to stress-relieving heat treatment
