The natural enemy of braking performance is heat. When temperature levels reach critical levels, a thin layer of gasses actually prevent the brake pads from making complete contact with the rotor friction surface. The addition of cross-drilling the friction surface promotes the evacuation of these gasses and improves stopping performance and pedal feel. TMS cross drilled rotors and AXXIS brake pads result in improved braking performance and look great too!

All TMS cross drilled rotors are made to exacting standards by the worlds leading brake manufacturers. Each part is then analyzed for its specific application and design. Engineers then determine the optimal drilling pattern to maximize stopping power. These patterns are then cut into the rotor using today's most advanced CNC machines. This level of quality control ensures that each TMS High Performance rotor will perform to the highest levels every time under all driving conditions. All TMS cross-drilled rotors feature counter-sunkholes that reduce stress risers and fractures.

OEM supplier Zimmerman has filled the gap left by BMW when they decided to stop importing the Euro E46 M3 brake rotors to the US. The Euro rotors are cross-drilled and floating, providing much improved cooling over the stock US brakes and are a direct replacement for the stock US rotors. These Zimmerman floating rotors are made in Germany and are almost identical to the Genuine BMW floating rotors that are no longer available to the US. They share similar drill patterns, floating design, offset, and vaning as the OE BMW parts. Zimmerman has been an OE supplier to a large number of German cars, including Porsche and Mercedes.
These Zimmerman rotors are sold as a pair.

EBC sport rotors are designed to draw cool air into the contact area to reduce braking temperatures and fading commonly experienced with stock brake components during a spirited drive. The dimpled holes break down surface gases when braking from speed but do not weaken the rotor cross section, reducing the risk of the rotor sustaining a crack over a period of time . Features: Wide slots Machined dimples Gold zinc coating for added corrosion protection
