Frequently asked questions
Are drilled or slotted discs better than standard?
Drilled and slotted discs can improve cooling and reduce brake fade under heavy use, but for most daily drivers, standard coated discs provide the best balance of cost, performance, and longevity.
Do front and rear brake discs have different PR numbers?
Yes. Front and rear brakes are coded separately, so you’ll often need two PR numbers when replacing a full set of discs.
Do I need to replace brake discs and pads together?
It’s strongly recommended. New discs with worn pads can reduce braking efficiency, while new pads on worn discs may wear unevenly. For the best performance, replace discs and pads as a set.
How do I know which brake discs fit my car?
The easiest way is to use our Shop by Vehicle tool. Enter your rego or vehicle details and we’ll fshow you the correct discs. Check out our blogs on choosing the correct discs for your car.
How often should brake discs be replaced?
There’s no fixed timeframe, but your owner’s manual will include recommendations specific to your car. As a guide, most brake discs last 50,000–80,000 km, depending on driving style and conditions. They should be replaced if they’re below minimum thickness, warped, cracked, or heavily grooved.
