This SHW SigmatEK front brake rotor provides direct OEM replacement for 2022 Audi S3 2.0L models and 2022 Volkswagen GTI variants. Cross-drilled surface vents heat and gases for reliable stopping power during track days or hard driving. Two-piece construction reduces unsprung weight by 20% compared to stock rotors for improved acceleration and handling response.
Key Features
- Cross-Drilled Surface: Precision-drilled holes remove hot gases and brake dust to sustain friction levels and resist fade in demanding conditions
- Lightweight 2-Piece Design: Aluminum hat with high-carbon cast iron friction ring lowers rotational mass for faster suspension response and reduced inertia
- 357mm x 25mm Dimensions: Exact match to OEM 5WA615301A with 5x112 bolt pattern and 66.5mm center bore for simple bolt-on installation
- High-Carbon Alloy: Built to withstand high temperatures without warping or cracking for extended durability
- Black Anodized Hat: Corrosion-resistant coating with floating design manages thermal expansion to minimize stress on components
Product Notes
- Bed-in pads before aggressive use to ensure optimal performance
- Inspect calipers and pads during installation for even wear
- Packaged in protective foam inserts to prevent shipping damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Torque lug nuts to 89 ft-lbs and caliper bolts to 22 ft-lbs
- Compatible with OEM hardware and aftermarket big brake kits

Brake Rotors
Shop aftermarket brake rotors from EBC Brakes, StopTech, Brembo, DBA, Hawk Performance, Centric, PowerStop, R1 Concepts, Baer, Wilwood, Girodisc, Rotora, and Black Ops Auto Works. Find drilled and slotted rotors, slotted rotors, dimpled rotors, blank OE-replacement rotors, two-piece floating rotors, high-carbon iron rotors, and vehicle-specific rotor packages for street, track, tow, and off-road applications. Match the rotor to the intended use before pairing with a friction level. Shop by vehicle year, make, model, trim, factory brake package, front or rear axle, and rotor style. Aftermarket brake rotors improve heat management, thermal capacity, and stopping consistency over factory rotors. Drilled and slotted rotors vent gas and dust from the pad-to-rotor interface, keeping the friction surface clean under repeated hard stops. Two-piece floating rotors reduce unsprung and rotating weight while allowing better thermal expansion. High-carbon iron rotors resist warping and crack...
