RED DOT produce a wide range of grooved discs and performance brake pads for most vehicles. Manufactured from the best graphite cast iron, the high performance discs are available with 6, 20 or 40 grooves, or as cross drilled or plain faced group "N" discs.

RED Dot explain that the function of the grooves is to deglaze the brake pads and vent gasses that build up between disc and pad during braking. As a result brake fade is significantly reduced. Also, as the number of grooves is increased, more heat can be dissipated thus greatly reducing the risk of deformation, vibration or cracking of the disc at extreme operating temperatures.

RED DOT have also developed the XE Fast Road range of high performance pads optimised for road use. Designed to give drivers a significant extra margin of safety, these pads have been extensively tested by experienced racing drivers and various European magazines who testify that they give racing-level brake performance.

The RED DOT Racing XF pad range represent the absolute state of the art for single seater , production and touring saloons and rally cars. It is an asbestos free material thus achieving a coefficient of friction of 0.39 which is stable over a wide range of temperatures, working from cold up to 950C. Wear rates are similar to those of standard road going material with the added advantage of low brake dust on alloy wheels.
