Why Probite?

Advanced stopping power and appearance.

What are Probite performance brake discs?

First invented in 1902 by British engineer Frederick W. Lanchester, the disc brake has been an efficient and safe way of stopping cars for over a century.

Unlike the basic smooth surface of a standard OEM brake disc, Probite performance discs have a range of improvements such as cross-drilling, geometric grooving, chemical coating and internal vaning.

Cutting-edge refinements

Upgrading your car’s standard brake discs is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to improve braking performance. Decades of refinement have led the world’s top motorsport teams and carmanufacturers to develop a range of improvements such as cross-drilling, geometric grooving, chemical coating and internal vaning. These performance-focussed upgrades work together to improve a variety of properties like temperature, strength and weight giving much shorter stopping distances from much higher speeds.

Thanks to our huge catalogue of part numbers, it’s now possible to upgrade almost any vehicle to benefit from improved braking and handling properties.

Probite offers a range of cutting-edge products that improve the performance and appearance of your car - precision engineered in the UK to offer an easy and direct-fit replacement.

Why Probite performance discs?

Compared to a standard disc, Probite discs give an increased friction coefficient between the disc and pad surfaces. The different combinations of holes and grooves combine for greatly improved braking bite from the very first contact. You will notice a quicker and more stable braking response as soon as you press the pedal.

Standard brake discs wear in such a way that ferrous material and waste products can build up on the surface of the pad, interfering with performance and allowing discs to slip through whilst under force. Glazing occurs when you have low temperatures in the braking system and driving conditions prevent heavy use of brake pressure. Rather than creating friction, the pads simply polish the surface of the disc. Glazing is most likely in wet conditions where temperatures are typically low and the driver is unwilling to brake hard because the grip is minimal. Probite discs are designed to mechanically scrape the surface of the brake pads on every contact, clearing away these tiny waste particles and deglazing the pads to leave them as clean and responsive as possible - whatever the conditions and however you need to drive.

We’re a team of racing, motorsport and tuning enthusiasts - we understand that your car is your pride and joy. So the Probite team put care and dedication into how we manufacture and finish our products.  Whether you want subtle enhancements or bold statements, our discs and accessories can do it for you.

Wet weather impedes braking performance and reduces the effectiveness of both pad-grip and piston-pressure when applied to standard discs. Probite offers exceptional braking in all weathers. Thanks to our advanced configuration of concentric and geometric surface treatments, any films of water are disrupted and dispersed at high-speed ensuring safe and efficient braking properties through all conditions.

Upgrading your brake discs is the cheapest and simplest way to improve the safety, handling and performance of your car. The quicker it stops the later you need to brake and the sooner you can accelerate again - all safer and easier than before.

The braking efficiency of standard brake discs can rapidly reduce when subjected to hard or repeated stops in a short period of time. These rocketing temperatures also cause the friction material of the brake pads to combust and wear away quicker, generating gases that cushion the pad, causing brake fade. As well as being made from cast-iron that can withstand temperatures above 600c, Probite discs feature carefully designed holes and grooves that allow for quick dispersion of heat and gases, moving them away from the braking system and hugely reducing brake fade.
