Disc Designs: Pro Street™

Benefits – at a glance: 

• Reduced pad-glazing resulting in improved brake response.

• Substantial reduction of brake fade caused by ‘outgassing’.

• Improved brake consistency under spirited driving conditions or when carrying heavy loads or towing.

• Improved brake modulation resulting in less chance of premature wheel lockup.

• Reduced disc scoring. Uniform pad wear.

• Reduced stopping distances - particularly when braking from high speeds or following a number of consecutive brake applications.

• Improved wet weather braking.

• Improved disc life.

We are proud to introduce our top-selling Powerbrake™ Pro Street™ disc design. Sharing many of the features that have earned our top-of-the-line Die Hard™ series discs such an excellent reputation, the Pro Street™ series offers vehicle owners a premium performance disc at a very competitive price. 

Powerbrake™ Pro Street™ discs are available for a massive range of over 300 vehicle models, including many rare, hard-to-find references.

In many cases our Pro Street™ discs are priced below the cost of standard, original equipment replacement discs.

The reverse-slot pattern, machined into the friction surfaces of the disc, vents away friction gasses (formed when the resins in friction materials evaporate at high disc temperatures), debris and water to ensure optimum brake performance in both wet and dry conditions. The gentle scrubbing action of the slots continually de-glazes brake pad friction material ensuring that initial brake response is always positive and confidence inspiring. This scrubbing action also results in uniform pad wear which means maximum contact area between friction material and disc.

Our Pro Street™ series discs are machined to industry leading tolerances from a range of proprietary cast iron alloys. The result is a disc that offers excellent wear life and improved resistance to distortion and cracking. Each disc in mill-balanced to ensure smooth braking and eliminate vibration. In addition to this each disc features our MTR (Max Temp Recording) system that records peak disc temperatures, providing valuable feedback to both the vehicle owner and/or fitter with regards to brake function, pad selection and possible diagnosis of other system related brake problems.

All Pro Street™ discs are coated with our proprietary silver 'dry' coating that requires no removal or preparation prior to fitment. Our dry coating eliminates the use of oil-based coatings that are used by most aftermarket disc manufacturers. These oil based coatings are seldom properly removed prior to fitment and as a result they contaminate brake pads and negatively effect brake performance. Our coating is heat rated to 650 deg C and ensures that your discs are easy to install, offer optimum brake performance from the outset and remain looking good behind open pattern wheels.

Finally, each Pro Street™ series disc features our Wear Watch system, which consists of two parallel lines (approximately 2mm wide and 10mm long) that are machined into the outboard friction surface of the disc. These lines are normally visible by looking directly through the wheel spokes. The line closest to the outside diameter is machined to precisely 0.2mm shallow of the disc’s minimum thickness. The line closest to the inside diameter is machined to the minimum thickness. Inspecting disc wear couldn’t get any simpler. When you can see only one line it’s time to book your car in to have the disc replaced. When both of the ‘Wear Watch’ lines disappear your disc has reached minimum thickness and needs replacing. Convenient, simple and safe!

Whether you are a performance enthusiast, tow or carry heavy loads or are just looking to upgrade the performance of your brake system for safety reasons, you should seriously consider fitting a set of Powerbrake™ Pro Street™ series discs.
