In the brake technology, there are many variants where one or the other layman will shake his head at the sight. The normal discs are tuners like against ventilated, slotted, perforated and now also against so-called Wave brake discs exchanged. Then there are the brake discs even from rare materials such as Carbon ceramic. Coming back to the new Wave brake discs: what are they, what are their advantages and disadvantages and which manufacturers produce them?
Wave brake discs
Wave brake discs have only been on the market for a few years. Characteristic of these brake discs is that the outer edge is wavy. Wave brake discs are more of an aesthetic fad and are particularly common on motorcycles. The origin of the Wave brake discs lies in off-road sports; here they serve the purpose of removing dirt and mud from the brake pad shaft more quickly. Wave brake discs have so far only been used in expensive sports cars. The look of the Wave brake discs is particularly effective on large rims. Curiously, wave brake discs have not been used that often in off-road vehicles, although their use here would make more sense. Motorists should think twice before installing Wave brake discs, as they do not offer any real advantages.
Manufacturer of Wave Brake Discs
For example, Audi offers wave brake discs in the Audi R8 and the Audi RS5. The VW Golf 7 R420 five-cylinder, which appears again and again, was also equipped with Wave brake discs as an Erlkönig. So far, however, only a few Wave brake discs have been offered for the aftermarket, probably because demand is still very low. O-Brake is a supplier that offers retrofit kits. For example, the manufacturer offers Wave brake discs for the front axle of the Audi RS4 Type 8E. The retrofit kit includes an assembly kit with which the original brake pot can be used. The manufacturer also promises a simple plug-and-play solution that will make retrofitting relatively easy.
Tip: Do you have to clean the holes regularly?? Here is the answer!
The manufacturer's Wave brake discs are made of HTCIC, which stands for high-tech cast iron carbon. The material is highly resilient and not only surpasses normal gray cast iron brake discs, but also ceramic brake discs in terms of response both when cold and when hot. Furthermore, they have a very high fading level, are thermally resilient and offer precise dosing. When retrofitting, there are no problems with the standard systems such as ABS, PSM, ESP and so on. According to the supplier, the Wave brake discs are also very light. Due to a maximum radiating surface and the optimized brake pad cleaning, these would ensure maximum deceleration values.
There are also special designs
According to the manufacturer, this is one reason why the Wave brake discs are ideal for use in motor sports, even in the most varied of conditions. The tuner offers the Wave brake discs for the Aston Martin Vantage V8 & V12, the DB9, for example, but also for other Audi models such as the RS3, the S8 and also for the Nissan GT-R. The common sizes of the brake discs are 365 x 34 or 380 x 34 mm. We hope that you will find the info report on the term Wave brake discs from the field of autotuning.
