Elevate your driving experience with the superior stopping power and quality of our MaxGrip XDS Rotor & Pad kit!

The Science of Brake Fade: Understanding Outgassing When you apply the brakes, the friction between the pad and the rotor generates intense heat. Under extreme conditions, surface temperatures can exceed the stable operating limit of the pad's binding resins. At this point, the resins begin to burn and turn into a gas.

This gas becomes trapped in the microscopic space between the pad and the rotor. Under pressure, it acts like a thin cushion of air, effectively "lifting" the pad away from the rotor. This is a specific type of brake fade: just like a car hydroplaning on water, the brake pad "gas-planes" on a layer of hot vapor. 

The MaxGrip XDS Solution LEED Brakes MaxGrip XDS Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors are engineered to eliminate this cushion.

• Precision Drilling: Our holes provide a direct escape route for gas to vent into the internal cooling vanes.
• Directional Slotting: Machined channels act like "windshield wipers," clearing gas and dust toward the edges of the wheel to maintain a clean contact patch.

Unlike generic performance rotors, the LEED Brakes drilling pattern is specifically engineered to avoid the structural ribs between the rotor halves. This maintains maximum structural integrity and eliminates the micro-cracking often found in inferior drilled rotors.

Superior Protection with Magni Coating To ensure long-term durability, MaxGrip XDS rotors are finished with Magni Coating—a high-performance, chrome-free metallic film.

Consistent Friction: Magni’s frictional output matches a bare rotor, allowing it to be applied to all braking surfaces without sacrificing performance.

Extreme Resistance: Rated for temperatures up to 825°F and tested for 400 hours of salt spray, this coating provides a robust shield against under-vehicle corrosion and the elements.
