Cross-Drilled Brake Rotor, Balo, Boxster S (986), REAR

Balo brakes are the best brakes that most folks have never heard of. That's because Balo brakes generally are supplied right to the OE manufacturer and immediately bolted on to brand new BMWs and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Many times, you'll get a box containing Balo brakes if you visit your European car's dealership parts counter—after all, BMW and Mercedes don't make brakes. They get them from suppliers like Balo brakes. We're fortunate to be able to source genuine Balo brakes for your European vehicle so you can install OE parts without having to pay OE prices. The Balo brakes we carry are constructed of heat-treated special alloys to resist fade and warping, and like all Balo brakes, they've been precision machined and fully balanced so they're ready to install right out of the box. Don't mess around with offshore rotors and brake components on your premium car. Install OE brakes like our Balo brakes and get showroom new performance every time you step on the pedal.

Balo Brake Disc

Your BMW most likely has a Balo brake disc hiding behind the alloy wheel. That's because BMW uses the Balo brake disc more often than any other manufacturer's rotor on new vehicles thanks to their fit, performance, and resistance to warping. And while Balo brake disc components are most often sold directly to OE manufacturers, you can get the correct Balo brake disc for your European vehicle without visiting the dealership when you shop right here. Since they're OE parts, Balo brake disc components meet or exceed the manufacturer's specifications for heat tolerance and wear performance. That translates into shorter stopping distances and longer life when you use a Balo brake disc on your car. Additionally, higher-strength alloys and the correct number of cooling fins are always found on a replacement Balo brake disc. That cannot always be said about inexpensive offshore-cast brake discs found in discount auto parts chains. So get the right rotor for your European vehicle: Specify Balo brake disc components when you do your next brake job.

Balo Rotors

You don't get to be an OEM brake supplier to some of the biggest names in the car business by slacking off. That's why Balo rotors are worth a hard look if you happen to own a European or Asian vehicle. Balo rotors start where it counts: with premium, high strength steel, heat treated for durability and endurance. From there, Balo rotors are precisely machined to OE dimensions to make a perfect replacement for your stock Balo rotors. That way, you can be assured that Balo rotors have the correct number of cooling fins, the correct thickness, and the correct runout—all things that you aren't sure of when you buy a generic replacement rotor for your ride. The bottom line is that if you want to restore your car to OE braking performance, you need OE rotors like Balo rotors. Nothing else will perform the same. Balo rotors are also now becoming available for some cars that didn't have them originally. That means you can get the performance of Balo rotors on your VW, Porsche, or Audi, then install the high-performance brake pads of your choice. The combination of Balo rotors and grippy performance pads can make for a vastly improved braking system, reducing stopping distances, fade, dust, and noise. It's not too good to be true: It's just that Balo rotors are that good, so try them when you perform your next brake job.
