Wilwood GT-48 Curved Vane Rotor - 12.88" Diameter, 1.10" Thickness, Left Hand (Part #160-12962)

GT-48 curved vane rotors are built for the extreme conditions of professional motorsports. The superior heat absorption and dissipation characteristics of these heavy wall directional vane rotors are the keys to preventing heat fade and realizing long service life from the rotors and pads. All rotors are cast from premium grade, long grain carbon iron for long wear, thermal stability, and resistance to distortion. Every GT rotor is fully detail machined to eliminate stress points and unnecessary weight away from the pad sweep face. The faces and O.D. are precision turned to less than .001" for flatness, parallelism, and run-out. An asymmetrical face slot pattern provides smoother engagement through reduced harmonics and improved thermal balance between the I.D. and O.D. of the rotor. Every rotor is then individually dynamic balanced to provide vibration free performance at any speed. These rotors provide the highest cooling capacity and longest service life for extreme braking short tracks and road course competition.

The Wilwood GT-48 curved vane rotor is engineered for high-performance motorsports where extreme braking demands are common. Crafted from premium long grain carbon iron, this rotor offers exceptional heat absorption and dissipation, critical for preventing heat fade during intense braking on short tracks and road courses. Its heavy wall construction ensures durability, thermal stability, and resistance to distortion, making it suitable for professional racing environments. The rotor’s design features fully detail machined surfaces that eliminate stress points and reduce unnecessary weight, optimizing pad engagement and overall braking efficiency. Precision turned to less than 0.001 inches, the faces and outer diameter ensure flatness, parallelism, and minimal run-out, resulting in smooth and consistent braking performance. An asymmetrical face slot pattern reduces harmonic vibrations and improves thermal balance between the inner and outer diameters, further enhancing performance under extreme conditions. Each rotor undergoes dynamic balancing to ensure vibration-free operation at any speed, providing racers with reliable and consistent stopping power. The GT-48 rotor’s superior cooling capacity and long service life make it an ideal choice for competitive motorsports, offering sustained performance and durability in demanding environments.
