One of the essential components of your disc braking system is your Cadillac XLR brake rotors. You will find these one-piece metal discs mounted at each of your wheels, where they perform quite a few important jobs for your brakes. Your braking system relies on friction to bring your car to a complete and controlled stop, and your XLR brake rotors work directly with your brake pads to generate that friction.

When you engage your brakes, your calipers clamp your brake pads down on either side of the rotors, and the lining of the pads rubs against the edges of the rotors to stop your wheels from turning. Since friction generates heat, another function served by your Cadillac XLR brake rotors is cooling.

The rapid spinning motion of your rotors works to cool both frictional braking surfaces and prevent brake fade through excess heat. Finally, your XLR brake rotors keep your brakes clean by repelling dirt and water through centrifugal force. Whenever you are experiencing problems with your brake rotors, it is important to get them replaced right away. Your Cadillac XLR brake rotors will become worn through normal use, and they will experience accelerated wear if you do not change your brake pads when necessary, or if you have metallic brake pads installed. If your brake pedal shakes or shudders when you press down on it, or if you hear a loud grating or grinding sound coming from your brakes, this usually means you need to replace your XLR brake rotors.Enjoy our deep discount prices and fast, reliable shipping on all brake rotors, brake pads, and brake parts in our extensive online catalogue.
