SHW Performance AFX48201 Front Drilled-Dimpled Wavy Rotor Audi R8 V10 RS5

Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2020 Audi R8 (4S, 5.2L V10, quattro, Coupe & Spyder) - excludes ceramic brakes
• 2013-2015 Audi RS5 (B8, 4.2L V8, quattro, Coupe & Cabriolet) - excludes ceramic brakes

Fitment Notes

• Priced and sold each (single rotor). Two rotors required for a complete front axle replacement.
• Direct OEM replacement for part numbers 4S0615301B and 8T0615301. Both left and right positions use the same part number.
• Does NOT fit vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic composite brakes. Confirm standard iron rotor fitment at your vehicle before ordering.
• Confirm rotor size (365 x 34 mm) at vehicle before ordering.
• Professional installation and proper break-in bedding procedure required after installation.

Features

• Drilled-dimpled disc surface with wavy outer milled profile improves initial pad bite, enhances heat dissipation, and reduces brake fade under the sustained high-speed braking demands of the R8 V10 and RS5 V8.
• SHW's patented Pin-Drive two-piece construction - cast iron friction ring connected to a lightweight aluminium disc bell via stainless steel pins - significantly reduces unsprung and rotational mass versus conventional one-piece iron rotors.
• Fully floating Pin-Drive design minimizes brake judder, accommodates thermal expansion more effectively, and opens central cooling channels for up to 50% greater airflow and heat dissipation versus traditional designs.
• High-carbon alloy friction ring enhances thermal capacity, reduces noise, and extends service life under performance driving conditions.
• ECE R90 approved - meets the highest international standards for brake disc safety and performance.
• Manufactured by SHW Performance - a premier OEM brake disc supplier and the only brake disc manufacturer to produce every step of the process entirely in-house, from casting to machining.
• Made in Germany.

Product Description

The SHW Performance AFX48201 is a front drilled-dimpled lightweight wavy brake rotor engineered as a direct OEM-equivalent replacement for the 2014-2020 Audi R8 5.2L V10 and 2013-2015 Audi RS5 4.2L V8, replacing OEM part numbers 4S0615301B and 8T0615301. SHW Performance is one of the world's premier OEM brake disc manufacturers - the only brake disc supplier to encompass every step of production entirely in-house, from iron and aluminium casting through to precision machining and finishing. The AFX48201 is the same OEM-specification rotor supplied to the factory, now made directly available to the consumer.

At 365 x 34 mm, this high-carbon alloy two-piece Pin-Drive rotor is purpose-built for the braking demands of the R8 V10 and RS5 V8 - high-speed, repeated, and hard stops where heat management and consistent pad bite are critical. The drilled-dimpled disc surface with wavy outer milled profile sharpens initial bite and improves cooling airflow across the friction face, while the Pin-Drive aluminium bell construction dramatically cuts rotational and unsprung mass versus conventional one-piece iron designs. The offset pin connection opens the central cooling channels for up to 50% greater heat dissipation, keeping rotor temperatures lower over successive braking events. ECE R90 certified, with a minimum thickness of 32.4 mm and a rotor weight of 10.7 kg. Sold individually - two are required for a complete front axle replacement. Does not fit ceramic brake-equipped models. A proper break-in bedding procedure is required after installation.
