NOTE:
The brake disc retaining screw and the brake caliper to knuckle bolts are a single use fixing.
The brake disc is retained on the wheel hub by 1 brake disc retaining screw and the wheel nuts. Each brake caliper is mounted to the front wheel knuckle with 2 bolts.
Both types of front brake disc are manufactured with ventilation channels, allowing the disc to achieve high levels of thermal stability even during severe braking.
The brake disc is cooled as the forward motion of the vehicle draws air through the ventilation channels, and across the surfaces of the brake disc.
The brake discs are a lightweight technology saving 1.2 kg per corner compared to conventional technology. This offers improved vehicle handling and fuel economy.
