Tarox uprated disc and pad kit for Vauxhall Corsa D

Although many enthusiasts will know the Tarox name from its ultra-high performance range of ‘Big Brake’ kits, not all will know about the Italian firm’s class-leading range of uprated disc and pad set-ups that offer direct replacements to the OEM parts – but with significantly greater performance and much less tendency to fade.

Each disc undergoes a structural stress-relieving heat treatment at the end of each machining cycle which increases durability and massively reduces the risk of warping under repeated heavy braking.

All discs are CNC machine-faced to acheieve the ultimate braking surface, down to a tolerance of 0.015mm, not only resulting in unparalleled performance, but also, an incredible finish, to accentuate the overall look of the car.

Four styles are available. The OEM-esque ‘Zero’ with its factory good looks, the diagonally vented ‘G88’, the JDM inspired ‘Sport Japan’ and the classic, spirally grooved ‘F2000’.

The perfect discs need the perfect pads, and here Tarox have ticked all of the boxes, too. Tarox’s own Strada pads offer OEM characteristics, but with much high levels of retardation and zero fade even under heavy, repeated braking.

Prices start from just £169.00 +VAT for any design of discs and the Strada pads cost £79.00 + VAT. Nothing increases driver confidence like a set of decent brakes, so if you want to increase safety – or decrease lap times – and don’t want the expense of a full big brake kit, then these are the perfect upgrade.
