Wilwood GT-48 Curved Vane Rotor - 12.88 inch Diameter for High-Performance Motorsports

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 (Part Number 160-12961) is engineered for demanding motorsports applications, offering exceptional heat management and durability. Crafted from premium long grain carbon iron, this heavy wall directional vane rotor ensures superior thermal stability, resistance to distortion, and long-lasting wear. Its design features a fully machined surface to eliminate stress points and reduce unnecessary weight, enhancing overall performance and reliability. The precision turned faces and outer diameter achieve flatness, parallelism, and minimal run-out, all within less than .001 inch, ensuring smooth operation at high speeds. An asymmetrical face slot pattern is incorporated to promote smoother engagement by reducing harmonic vibrations and improving thermal balance between the inner and outer diameters of the rotor. Each rotor is individually dynamic balanced to deliver vibration-free braking during intense racing conditions. This rotor provides high cooling capacity, making it ideal for extreme braking scenarios on short tracks and road courses. Its robust construction and meticulous manufacturing process extend service life and optimize brake pad engagement, providing racers with consistent, reliable stopping power when it matters most.
