SHW Performance AFX45014 Front Smooth Lightweight Rotor Audi S6 S7 A6 A8 S8

Vehicle Fitment

• 2019-2022 Audi A6 Quattro (C8, MLB Evo, Front axle)
• 2020-2022 Audi S6 (C8, MLB Evo, Front axle)
• 2020-2021 Audi S7 Sportback (D5, MLB Evo, Front axle)
• 2019-2022 Audi A8 Quattro (D5, MLB Evo, Front axle)
• 2020-2022 Audi S8 (D5, MLB Evo, Front axle)

Fitment Notes

• Priced and sold each (single rotor). Two rotors required for a complete front axle replacement.
• Direct OEM replacement for part number 4M0615301BF / 4M0615301F.
• Confirm rotor size (400 x 38 mm) at vehicle before ordering.
• Not compatible with vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic brakes. Verify standard iron rotor fitment before ordering.
• Professional installation and proper break-in bedding procedure required after installation.

Features

• Smooth (non-drilled, non-slotted) friction surface provides maximum pad contact area for consistent, progressive, and fade-resistant stopping power across all driving conditions.
• SHW's patented Pin-Drive two-piece construction - lightweight aluminium disc bell joined to the cast iron friction ring via stainless steel pins - 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 improves airflow through the rotor's central cooling channels for up to 50% better heat dissipation versus traditional designs.
• Manufactured by SHW Performance - a premier OEM brake disc supplier whose products ship as standard equipment on new performance vehicles directly from the factory.
• Engineered to meet OEM specifications for dimensional accuracy, metallurgy, and braking performance.
• Made in Germany.

Product Description

The SHW Performance AFX45014 is a front smooth lightweight brake rotor engineered as a direct OEM-equivalent replacement for the 2019-2022 Audi A6 Quattro, 2020-2022 S6, 2020-2021 S7 Sportback, 2019-2022 A8 Quattro, and 2020-2022 S8 - all sharing the MLB Evo platform's 400 x 38 mm front rotor specification. SHW Performance is one of the world's leading OEM brake disc manufacturers, supplying this exact part as factory equipment, and the AFX45014 delivers that same OEM-grade product directly to the consumer, replacing original part number 4M0615301BF.

The smooth friction surface maximizes pad contact area for consistent, linear braking performance suited to the daily grand touring and occasional spirited driving character of the C8/D5 MLB Evo chassis. The SHW Pin-Drive two-piece construction significantly cuts rotational and unsprung mass versus a conventional cast iron monobloc, while the offset pin connection opens up cooling channel airflow through the assembly for dramatically improved heat management - keeping rotor temperatures lower during sustained braking. Both left and right front positions use the same AFX45014 part number. Sold individually - two are required for a complete front axle service. A proper break-in bedding procedure is recommended after installation.
