Lohen is a Supplier of Tarox – read this blog post to see what’s on offer for your MINI.
Tarox is a world famous after-market brake manufacturer based in North Italy. Their products are designed and manufactured in their own factory. Their in-house approach means every product made meets their high-quality standards.
What do they offer?
Tarox produces a great range of performance brake kits, discs and pads for all 3 MINI Generations. They work with individual customers on bespoke, tailored solutions on their big brake kits, they offer a range of disc designs, caliper colours and pad options to suit all driving needs and applications.
Tarox Brake Discs
All of Tarox’s products offer next-level performance and their four drilling variations (Zero, G88, Sport Japan and F2000) means their brakes suit even the most unique of demands.
Zero
The Zero Tarox Brake Disc’s outstanding resistance to high temperatures prevents them from warping and cracking and their smooth finish means they can mate perfectly with the pads which helps increase the life of both the disc and pad. The Tarox Zero Brake Disc is mainly suited to the track use, they have been highly successful in the circuit regulations.
G88
The G88 Brake Disc is one of the most recognisable of the Tarox brand. Their edge to edge design ensures that the maximum amount of heat is dissipated and their chamfered edge ensures that the life of the brake pad is not decreased. The unique grooves of the G88 allows these brake discs to run cooler than any other brake disc tested against. Its unique look and unrivalled performance on the road have led to it becoming a firm favourite amongst the street tuning scene since its introduction to the market in 1988.
Sport Japan
The Sport Japan Brake Disc is one of the only aftermarket performance discs to still feature fully drilled holes, which is one of the most effective ways of venting hot gases from the brake surface. The additional six grooves on the braking surface acts as a wiper and keep the brake pad from glazing and removing excess dust while providing additional cooling.
F2000
The Tarox F2000 Brake Discs feature a spiral grooved design offers the perfect compromise and integrity. With the big power increases of modern-day hot hatches and saloon cars, combined with the increasing popularity of track days, the demand for a disc which could cope with high operating temperatures and gruelling conditions was needed and this disc has forged the reputation as being one of the toughest performance aftermarket brake discs available on the market.
Tarox Brake Pads
Like their brake discs, Tarox offers a variety of brake pad options that are suitable for road, track and race applications.
Strada
The Strada brake pads are their most user-friendly pad option. They are suitable for MINI owners who only use their car for everyday driving or fast road applications. The Strada pads work great from cold and provide an immediate response without having to pre-heat them. They also offer improved braking power, improved resistance to high temperatures and have a longer service life than their OEM counterparts.
Corsa
The Corsa Brake pads are primarily intended for track use so if you are looking to use your MINI on the track then they will suit your needs, however, they can be used to great effect on street cars too. These pads are still effective from cold but give their maximum performance when they are warm. Their high coefficient of friction gives an amazing pedal feel as well as massive amounts of bite.
Competizione 116
The Tarox Competizione 116 brake Pads are used for pure racing performance and they deliver reliability and braking power without compromise, so if you are wanting to only drive your MINI on the track or in races then they might be the best option for you. The Competizione 116 pad has a low compressibility level which delivers a hard, confident pedal feel and outstanding thermal stability that ensures your MINI has a consistent braking performance, lap after lap.
Tarox Brake Kits
Tarox also offers a range of brake kits for the MINI. These are built to order based on your application. Both 1 and 2 piece options are available in an array of disc sizes to fit under any wheel size.
Each Tarox caliper is machined from a solid block of aluminium and hand-assembled. The calipers are available with up to 10 pistons which helps to distribute pressure on the brake pad ensuring that the pad is evenly worn, gives more clamping action for stronger braking power and provides a firm pedal feel.
The Tarox brake calipers are designed to be maintenance-free and should not need to be serviced. The high-quality finish and variety of caliper colours available means that any of Tarox MINI brake range will look awesome on your MINI.
