Construction & Design

The GD Sport rotors are constructed from high-quality cast iron, ensuring excellent thermal stability and strength. The wide aperture slots are carefully machined to maximize airflow and heat dissipation, helping to keep brake temperatures lower during aggressive driving. The dimple drilling pattern not only enhances the rotor's structural integrity by reducing stress concentrations but also improves heat cycling performance. The thermic black coating is applied through a specialized process that provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish, maintaining the rotors' appearance and functionality over time.
