NEW!! THINNER, PROPER FITMENT -- Hawk Performance Pads for Lotus Elise
BigBrakeParts.net is proud to be offering an extensive selection of products for the Lotus Elise and Exige. HAWK REAR PADS Our newest Lotus product is Hawk Performance's REAR brake pad, now in the RIGHT THICKNESS, for the Lotus Elise. The rear calipers on the Elise are actually sourced from the Dodge Viper, but Lotus decided to use a thicker rotor in their application. Pad shapes for both cars are identical, but the Viper pads are a bit thicker and consequently don't fit into the Lotus brake setup without milling. We contacted Hawk and convinced them to produce a separate thickness for all the Elise owners out there who don't like spending $350+ for a set of race pads. BigBrakeParts.net now has in stock, in the right thickness, the Hawk HPS (street) and Hawk HP+ (autoX) for the Elise and Exige. The Hawk HT-10 race pads are currently being made and we are accepting pre-orders.
Our new, thinner Elise pads on the left, old Viper pads on the right. We have matching front pads as well, click here to choose your car and see our entire selection.
DBA 5000 ROTORS For the Ultimate replacement rotor, look no further than the Disc Brakes Australia 5000 Series rotors. These rotors are direct replacement for the OEM rotors on your Elise or Exige and require no modifications to install. The main advantage of a two-piece rotor (with aluminum hat), is the ability to allow the cast-iron disc rotor to expand and contract uniformly as the temperature rises and falls during brake application. The benefits of this is minimal distortion and warping of the cast-iron disc rotor. These rotor rings are available as replacement parts - the aluminum center hat is reusable. The Aluminum mounting center hat is made from super-light 6061-T6 Aluminium material, as used in aircraft structural design. The thermal conductivity and high strength of hat allows it to handle large temperature changes. The benfits of this is minimal distortion and warping of the cast-iron disc rotor. All DBA 5000 series rotors are slotted; slotting limits the possibility of glazing your brake pads and allows better 'pad-bite' under extreme braking conditions. Slotting constantly improved the disc pad friction face by wiping away the impurities and resins in the friction material. The DBA 5000 series rotors are manufactured with directional slotting, i.e. Left-Wheel disc slotting and Right-wheel disc slotting.
