LOBA Brake Disc Upgrade RS6 / R8
Using AP Racing 48 Vane Directional rotors (Grooved or Drilled) Bolt On Replacement no other modifications to carry out (PLUG&PLAY)
Uses stock callipers, the assembly uses “ Float in the Bell” Technology, float is limited to 0.2mm compared to 0.5-0.7mm float disc systems such as Alcon or less capable AP racing setups.
Custom rate developed bobbin springs allow design axial and radial float whilst maintaining OEM levels of noise.
Assembly's proven to demonstrate excellent heat management by design in testing due to axial flow of air from behind the bearing to the centre of the disc via 48 cooling vanes and a 17mm air gap, provision is also made for front face cooling via recessed vents on the reverse bell face.
All components from rotors to washers are available separately this is truly a disc assembly for life, whole life cost is lower than OEM especially for tracked vehicles, Disc finishing is either radially drilled via CNC to avoid hotspots or curved grooved, rebuild and refinishing service facility available. Once the LOBA Upgrade is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor when needed.
Design requirements was nominally 10-12 track laps at competitive driver speeds, surpassed in initial testing by professional drivers.
