Paragon Performance brake discs for Corvette C7 Z06 / Grand Sport (front axle)

The 2-piece brake disc for the Corvette C7 Z06 / Grand Sport from Paragon Performance offers superior braking and cooling efficiency that is optimized for use on the racetrack.
The function of the directional ventilation fins creates suction and turbulence and directs cool air through the brake disc to improve heat dissipation and increase resistance to cracking under harsh track conditions.

The rotor is made of CM-250, a special cast alloy with a high carbon content, which ensures optimum bite, thermal properties, high temperature resistance and durability.
The brake disk rings are heat-treated to reduce stresses in the brake disk and thus prevent deformation and vibrations.
They are then machined with a state-of-the-art CBN surface treatment to ensure better running-in with new brake pads.

Vibrations are reduced as the lateral run-out of the brake disk is kept within 0.03 mm and the balancing is within 2 grams.
All brake discs have undergone strict quality controls and tests to ensure that they are fit for purpose.
The two-piece design allows for thermal expansion of the brake disc while minimizing deformation and ensuring that the brake disc is centred in relation to the brake pads.
A slotted brake disc improves braking stability by maintaining a clean contact surface and dissipating the heat and gases generated when the brake pads come into contact with the brake disc.
Slotted brake discs have a decisive advantage over bare brake discs in wet or rainy conditions, as they prevent the formation of water films between the brake pad and brake disc.
The two-piece Paragon Performance brake discs weigh less than most O.E. brake discs, while maintaining thermal load capacity and improving handling by saving unsprung masses.

The aluminum pots are CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum and then hard coated / hard anodized black to provide a non-conductive protective coating. The black hard anodized pots are first hard anodized and then dyed black. They are equivalent in terms of performance/durability.

The black hard coating/hard anodizing in accordance with Mil-Spec (MIL-A-8625 Type III) does not discolour in extreme heat. The black hard coating/hard anodized surface is harder, thicker, more wear-resistant and scratch-resistant.

The black hard coat/hard anodized finish provides a thick hard coat that offers greater corrosion resistance and low maintenance durability. A black hard coat/hard anodized finish holds up better when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, which is even more important if the vehicle is frequently parked outdoors.
