We cannot really say much about the conception of our ‘Sport’ kit which was originally developed 10 years ago, but it had a very specific remit; stop vehicles weighing more than a regular defender, where they would be subject to all types of brutal terrain and conditions. The kit had to not only be weather proof, but super tough also. Tough enough to withstand impacts and also be as low maintenance as possible.
All TAROX brake kits are designed and tested on vehicle. The Defender kits were subjected to extra testing due to the high demands of the end user. Additionally, the kits were externally tested at TUV with very impressive results.
Available for both the front and rear axle, kits are supplied with a combination of hard pipe and stainless steel braided flexi lines to ensure a straightforward fitting and OEM finish. Brake pads are pre-installed ready for fitment and a choice of compound is available. By default we supply our ‘Corsa’ compound which offers the best balance of performance and comfort. Also included will be hard mounting brackets and hardware.
TAROX have begun working with Arkonik. We were excited to host their first UK build on our stand at Autosport 2020. Project UJO is equipped with front and rear kits to help haul down the LS3 V8 powered 110.
Discs: 325x26mm single piece vented, left and right specific, shown here with the recommended F2000 facing.
Manufactured from sliced billets of our own specially formulated steel which is not only much stronger than cast iron due to its unified structure, but it offers us full design and production flexibility. Long sessions of thermal treatment gradually strengthen the metal and heat cycle the disc in preparation for use. This massively reduces the chances of warping under heavy usage.
Final finishing, another unique TAROX process whereby all of our discs are balanced using a polishing technique which ensures a perfectly flat surface (0.015mm) providing the perfect environment for brake pad bedding in while also showing off a very beautiful engineered finish.
Calipers: B32 6 piston (31-34-31)
CNC’d two piece billet alloy construction, hand assembled and individually pressure tested before packaging.
The anodised finish retains the beautiful engineering details as well as providing excellent protection without fading from excessive heat. Our black and grey finishes receive a special type of process known as ‘Hard anodising’. Coloured caliper’s can also be requested
Hard anodised alloy pistons featuring a double O-ring internal seal making the calipers extremely resilient to all climates and unaffected by dust and dirt.
Stainless steel replaceable rollers on which the brake pad slides eliminating caliper wear and ensuring perfect pad fitting tolerances throughout the life of the kit.
Quick and easy pad change via stainless steel sliding pins which allow pads to be exchanged without the removal of the caliper. These also incorporate anti-rattle springs for comfort.
