Technical Info
Disc Friction Rings
The 2-piece disc assemblies used in our (Stage-2) X-Line 4×4 big brake kits are cast from a proprietary high-carbon cast iron alloy that provides excellent durability and stability under the high thermal loads experienced under fast-street or off-road driving. The discs feature 72 x curved, directional cooling vanes. The design significantly increases cooling vane surface area and air-flow when compared to factory / OEM disc designs, resulting in vastly improved cooling.
The slot pattern chosen for our X-Line 4×4 discs is our well-proven “AT” slot pattern that provides a good balance between functional aspects such as efficient removal of sand, mud and water (when driving in the rain or after river crossings) and practical aspects such as low levels of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) under braking. The slot pattern also provides good bite and release characteristics.
Every single Powerbrake 2-piece disc assembly is measured for run-out and disc thickness variation (DTV) using Swiss measuring equipment. When it comes to QC, there is no batch or statistical quality checking of Powerbrake discs. Every single disc is measured. Our machining tolerances are up to three times tighter than the industry norm.
Disc Surface Coating
All our X-Line 4×4 disc rings are coated with a proprietary black surface coating. The discs are chemically de-greased before the application of this coating to ensure that no machining fluids or other contaminants that can be absorbed the brake pads and negatively affect brake performance are present on our discs at all. The coating is able to withstand extremely high temperatures and is flexible enough to expand and contract without flaking or peeling off of the disc surface during the constant thermal expansion and contraction cycles experienced by the brake disc.
Our X-Line 4×4 disc disc assemblies require no cleaning or preparation using solvents at all. Simply ensure that the car’s hub is clean and fit the discs as they come out of the box. The black coating will be removed by the brake pads in the pad track areas within the first 4-5 brake applications. The un-swept areas of the disc will remain coated. While our disc coating was primarily designed to ensure that there was zero presence of oils and contaminants on our disc surfaces at the time of fitting (and was not in fact designed to provide corrosion protection), practical experience has shown that the non-swept areas of our coated X-Line 4×4 discs will in fact resist the common formation of unsightly surface rust on the non-swept areas of the discs quite well (depending on environmental conditions in your area). This results in a far more visually appealing assembly visible through the car’s wheels.
Disc Maximum Temperature Recording (MTR) System
Unique to Powerbrake, all X-Line 4×4 discs feature our MTR system that provide a permanent record of the peak operating temperature reached by the discs. This information is extremely valuable when selecting correct pad compounds for your application. The thermal-paint tabs are applied to the outside diameter of all X-Line 4×4 discs (on both the inboard and outboard disc plates).
Each single-change paint colour (4-levels: Blue, Green, Orange and Pink) changes to white when a specific temperature is reached, hereby providing a record of the peak operating temperature of the disc. We also add a multi-change paint that can be used with a provided colour gradient chart to further refine the results to a more specific temperature. The simple information required to interpret the results recorded by the MTR system on our X-Line 4×4 discs is provided in the instruction manual that accompanies every X-Line 4×4 big brake kit.
Disc Hats
The light-weight disc hats used in our X-Line 4×4 disc assemblies are machined from a solid billet of high grade aluminium alloy. Again, machining brake components from solid billet is expensive but it results in an extremely strong finished part. All hat designs undergo FEA strength and thermal analysis to confirm strength and rigidity under load. The hats are then finished with a dark grey, type-3 hard anodise for maximum durability and service life. Logos and other information are then laser etched on the outboard face of the hats.
Disc Float System
At Powerbrake we have many years of R&D invested in disc float systems. We have developed advanced float systems for our full race brake systems for applications ranging from circuit racing to FIA off-road and Dakar Rally. For our X-Line 4×4 big brake kits, we decided to use semi-float system that has been very well proven within our big brake kit range over many years of use.
The semi-float system allows the disc friction ring to expand and contract radially without any restriction as it heats and cools. This significantly reduces stresses within both the disc friction ring and the disc hat and reduces the chance of disc distortion and cracking, while ensuring a very consistent brake pedal feel.
The design brief for our X-Line 4×4 big brake kits was to provide race-proven technology to the 4×4 and off-road markets. As a result, attention was given to ensuring low of NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) under street driving conditions. Our semi-float system runs particularly quiet during day to day street driving.

I recently upgraded to EBC Yellowstuff brake pads for my BMW F20 M135i, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance! These pads have truly transformed my driving experience.Performance: The stopping power is phenomenal. Whether I’m driving around town or pushing the car on the highway, the brakes … More respond instantly and with great precision. The high friction formula really makes a difference, providing strong and consistent braking even under high temperatures.Overall Satisfaction: I highly recommend EBC Yellowstuff brake pads to anyone looking to upgrade their braking system. They offer a perfect balance of performance, durability, and low maintenance. These pads have definitely earned my trust and will be my go-to choice for future replacements.Thanks to Marco and team 🙂

Excellent experience start to finish.I installed EBC discs and Blue Stuff pads on my track day Nissan 350Z HR. The vehicle is street legal and daily used as well as on the track.The representative I dealt with gave excellent service. Quote, payment and shipping was smooth and timeous.The product itself … More surpassed my expectations to be honest. Correct installation and bedding in is important, but that being done I was able to improve my previous best lap time. Braking confidence and consistency is important for fast safe lapping. The car could stay out for full sessions without any fade whatsoever. Drove home like normal afterwards. The pads are also fine from cold. I have no issues letting my wife drive the car in the winter for example.Other mods include race brake fluid, semi-slicks and coilovers among others.For the price, in my opinion, you probably can't do better. I'll stay in touch as I may have even more demanding braking requirements in the future, for which we all ready have a plan.If you've got a braking need / concern, reach out to Trackrecon and they'll take care of you.Highly recommended!EDIT (03/2024) :THIS IS A FOLLOW UP REVIEW AFTER 8 MONTHS :I've been exclusively using Trackrecon and EBC for street and track since basically the beginning of 2023.Marco from Trackrecon has given exemplary service throughout. If you value building a trust relationship with a company and having your needs taken care of over the long term, I cannot recommend Trackrecon and Marco enough.The braking products I have used include the front discs (EBC BSD) , rear discs (EBC BSD), front brake pads (EBC Blue Stuff) and rear brake pads (EBC Blue Stuff) and most recently the EBC RPX race pads for the track.The vehicles braking requirements more than exceed anything that you should ever need on the street. On the track, depending on pace and how much track km's you do, the demand is MUCH higher, but even on track the braking performance has been exceptional.I've never experienced brake fade, even with full 20min sessions, with a fairly heavy vehicle. I haven't missed a single track day the whole of 2023, and most track days my wife and myself would do > 200kms on track! The pace of the vehicle is currently in the 1:27-1:28sec range. Those familiar with Killarney would know that the full slick race 350z's do around the 25-26sec range. My vehicle is full interior, stock power and on semi-slicks, fully street legal and the brakes play a major part in the ability of the vehicle to do full sessions of similar length to a sprint race and without any brake fade, yet, at a decent pace / lap time.I cannot give Trackrecon and Marco a stronger recommendation!I'll will update this review with my experience on the new EBC RPX full race pads as I get some experience with them.STILL very highly recommended!
