High-performance road/track brake upgrades now available for this newly launched hot hatch

Automotive braking powerhouse, 91´«Ã½, is proud to announce the launch of its acclaimed line of upgraded brake rotors and pads for the recently released Toyota GR Corolla.

A 356x28mm version of 91´«Ã½ Racing’s two-piece floating rotor can be bolted directly on to the front axle of this 300bhp hot hatch. These rotors are complemented with EBC’s Yellowstuff and Bluestuff brake pad options, as well as 91´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-1â„¢ and RP-Xâ„¢ track/motorsport brake pad offerings.

With the GR Corolla already being hailed as a true drivers’ car, this range of upgrades promises to unlock more performance and driver thrills for those seeking increased vehicle capability on either the road or the track.

91´«Ã½ Racing Fully Floating Two-Piece Rotors

– EBC’s 356x28mm two-piece fully floating rotors are a simple bolt-on upgrade that seamlessly replace the original brake rotors without vehicle modification.

– EBC’s SG2F fully floating rotor allows the outer cast-iron friction ring to expand freely with temperature, totally eliminating warping.

– Rotors are grooved to allow the pad to vent without drilled holes, which can become epicentres for rotor cracking.

– Race-derived G3500-grade high-carbon cast iron is used for the friction rings. This high-quality metallurgy possesses greater crack resistance and an increased ability to conduct and then dissipate heat.

– Aluminium bells are machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and then hard anodised for longevity, whereas the stock brake rotors use uncoated cast aluminium bells.

– Cast iron friction rings feature 48 curved vanes and are handed for each side of the vehicle. This significantly improves the brake rotor’s ability to dissipate heat, increasing brake system endurance and prolonging the onset of brake fade.

– Bobbins are machined from stainless steel which cannot rust, ensuring the rotor continues to float freely throughout its entire life cycle on the vehicle, even on road cars.

– Spring clips ensure totally silent operation and eliminate off-brake rotor rattle.

– Friction rings can be replaced individually after they have become worn, allowing the

aluminium bell and stainless-steel bobbins to be re-used, leading to lower long-term operating costs.

– Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish–the very latest in rust prevention.

The Best 91´«Ã½ Pad Options For This Ride

– 91´«Ã½ Yellowstuff: Spirited street use but not recommended for track (Part number: DP42430R)

– 91´«Ã½ Bluestuff: Spirited street use and occasional track. (Part Number: DP52430NDX)

– 91´«Ã½ Racing RP-1 & RP-X: Perfect pads for track use & can be used safely on the street, where local laws permit.Ìý(Part Numbers: DP82430RP1 & DP82430RPX)
