1988 Buick Century Brake Rotors and Drums

Bosch rotors utilize innovative materials that ensure the very highest quality – and prevent brake judder, noise, vibration and harshness. Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Rotors utilize vehicle specific castings. The heat flow casting process produces superior G3000, GG20, GG15 and HC (high carbon) casting. Bosch castings provide strength and durability not found in competitive product. While competitors may provide a low cost product which helps save money, their castings can crack and provide poor durability. Bosch QuietCast provides consistent, safe and long lasting performance. Alutherm 80 Coating – Bi-metal aluminum and zinc clean-look coating/Alutherm 80 extends the life of the rotor and provides a clean look for today’s open wheels

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent and a direct fit replacement
• Prevent rust and corrosion with clear-look coating protection
• Provide a clean look for today’s open-wheeled vehicles
• Are 100% balanced for smooth operation
• Factory-engraved edge code and minimum thickness specifications Bosch QuietCast Brake Rotors Brochure

WBR Run True Technology Metallurgic-Gray (MG) Finished Rotors All World Brake Resources (WBR) brake rotors with Run-True technology are manufactured to match the exact OE fit, OE construction, and precision finishing to ensure quick and easy installation, as well as trouble-free functionality for the life of the rotor. The Metallurgic-Gray coating is applied to all outward non-friction surfaces including in the gap between the plates covering the cooling vanes and cured through an oven drying process. The Gray coating provides an effective anti-rust protection to help maintain a clean appearance. The coating used for WBR is also similar to the OE color used by many OE car makes. WBR Brake Rotors with Run-True Technology have ultra tight tolerances that provide the finest braking experience, from break in throughout the life of the rotor, reducing the chance of warping even under extreme braking temperatures. The coated brake disc provides a protective water based coating that prevents rust and corrosion, extended rotor life and improved visual appearance. WBR Brake Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer specification for durability, fit, and function.
