034 Motorsport - MQB 340 MM Front Brake Disc Upgrade - 034-301-1021.

1-Piece Front Brake Rotor Upgrade Kit, MK8 VW GTI, Audi 8V/8V.5 S3 & MK7/Mk7.5 VW GTI w/ Performance Pack.

034Motorsport 1-Piece Brake Rotors are a direct replacement upgrade for MK8 VW GTI, Audi 8V/8V.5 S3 & MK7/Mk7.5 VW GTI w/ Performance Pack, offering improved cooling, durability, and braking consistency at a street-friendly price. Featuring directionally ventilated internal vanes, a high-strength CM-250 alloy, and a J-slot slotted friction face, these rotors are engineered to manage heat more effectively than factory straight vane rotors.

Designed for daily driving, spirited street use, autocross, and light track duty, they bolt directly to stock calipers and are compatible with factory or upgraded pads. Finished with a Geomet anti-corrosion coating and temperature indicating paint marks, these rotors deliver real performance gains at a price comparable to basic OEM blank rotors.

Directional Cooling. Stronger Materials. Real Performance at a Fair Price:

034Motorsport 1-Piece Rotors deliver a meaningful braking upgrade for Audi and Volkswagen platforms without the cost of a two-piece system. Designed as a direct replacement for factory rotors, they combine advanced cooling technology, a high-strength alloy, and proven track-inspired features at a price point typically reserved for basic blank rotors.

Unlike factory rotors that rely on straight internal cooling vanes and soft iron alloys, 034Motorsport 1-Piece Rotors are engineered from the inside out to manage heat more effectively and hold up under repeated braking events.

Directionally Ventilated for Active Cooling:

Most OEM Audi and VW rotors utilize straight internal cooling vanes or no vanes at all, which create limited airflow and minimal active cooling effect. 034Motorsport rotors feature directionally ventilated internal vanes that pull air in from the center of the disc and force it outward. This increased airflow greatly improves heat transfer and cooling of the rotor, helping the rotor stay cooler during hard street driving, spirited back roads, autocross, and light track use. Cooler rotors maintain braking consistency and reduce the likelihood of fade, warping, or hotspots.

High Strength CM-250 Alloy:

Factory rotors are typically cast from relatively soft iron, which wears quickly and warps under high pressure and high heat. 034Motorsport 1-Piece Rotors use a Heat-Treated CM-250 special alloy formulated specifically for performance driving. This material is more resistant to heat cycling, less prone to warping, and better suited for repeated high-temperature braking than OEM rotors.

J-Slot Friction Face:

The J-slot slotted friction surface is designed to do more than just look aggressive. J-slots help clear debris from the pad surface, allow pad off-gassing under high temperatures, and distribute heat more evenly across the rotor face, reducing the likelihood of hot spots. This results in more consistent braking performance compared to traditional straight slots or drilled rotors, which can concentrate heat and increase the risk of cracking.

Street Friendly, Track Capable:

These rotors are optimized for daily driving, spirited canyon runs, autocross, and entry-level track days. They are fully compatible with stock calipers and can be used with factory pads or upgraded performance pads. For drivers engaging in more aggressive back-road use or extended track sessions, 034Motorsport 2-Piece rotors remain the ideal solution and are recommended for the highest thermal demands.

Built for Year-Round Use:

Each rotor is finished with a Geomet anti-corrosion coating to protect against rust and corrosion, making them suitable for all weather oncditions. Temperature-indicating paint marks on the rotor edge provide a visual reference for heat exposure during aggressive driving or track use.

Temperature-Indicating Paint Marks:

034Motorsport 1-Piece Performance Brake Rotors feature temperature-indicating paint marks on the rotor edge that provide a quick visual reference for heat exposure during aggressive street driving, autocross, or track use.

The paint changes color at specific temperature thresholds to help drivers understand operating conditions:

  • Green †’ White at 478°C (892°F)
  • Orange †’ Yellow at 571°C (1060°F)
  • Red †’ White at 640°C (1184°F)

If the red paint turns white throughout, the rotors are consistently operating beyond their intended temperature range. This may indicate the need for lower-friction brake pads, improved cooling, or upgrading to 034Motorsport 2-Piece Rotors, which have higher heat dissipation capabilities with their two-piece design.

Performance That Makes Sense:

034Motorsport 1-Piece Rotors are priced competitively with basic blank replacement rotors, while delivering meaningful performance improvements in cooling, durability, and braking consistency. This makes them one of the best value brake upgrades available for Audi and VW owners.

Makes Fantastic Cold Brew. Thoughtful Design. Slightly Frail, But Approaches Perfection.
Style: 51oz|Conical Styles
When I looked for a dedicated cold brew pitcher, I had a few conditions. Mainly I wanted to avoid plastic at all costs. I needed a pitcher that would be easy to clean and simple to use, without pointless bells and whistles. Finally, I wanted a pitcher that could fit in my fridge without issue. This pitcher achieves all that and then some. Borosilicate is the same stuff Pyrex used to make its glassware from, a material renowned for its durability especially when exposed to quick temperature shifts. I knew it was overkill, but such material would surely fit the bill. And glass wouldn't affect the flavor of whatever coffee I'd brew in it. The grind holder is made from stainless steel, with a fine mesh that largely prevents sediment from getting into the coffee. It does allow smaller particles to get through, but they settle to the bottom. Overall I can't complain. The grind holder is suspended by a rubber ring which also locks the pitcher's lid in place. This forms a nice little seal that seems to help prevent leaking. Obviously there is no vacuum capability here, but it feels sturdy and like it won't let anything in or out once the grind holder is in. Pouring is easy and accurate. I remove the lid and grind holder, then pour. There's never any spillover nor dripping. The pitcher has a good, well-crafted pouring tip. Brewing with the pitcher takes a bit of practice. First I dump old grinds if necessary, then fill the grind holder roughly 3/4 of the way with cold brew grinds. BEFORE I place the grind holder into the pitcher, I fill the pitcher with water about 2 inches below the max line. After that, I place the grind filter into the pitcher then slowly press down on the grinds to flatten and wet them. Finally, I slowly pour water in to hit the max line, flattening the grounds as I do. While the pitcher has notches to determine how much liquid it holds, I don't find that feature helpful because I only use the pitcher with a grind holder which boosts the liquid. I imagine the notch lines may be more helpful for someone using this as a standard pitcher without the grind holder in place. I've accidentally overfilled this pitcher many times before deciding the best way, in my opinion, to handle it as described above. I've tried placing the grind holder in and then pouring all of the water over the grinds. But because grinds have a tendency to rise and overflow, that method proved messy and ineffective. This is why I add most of the water first, then only add a very small amount of water AFTER putting the grind holder into position just to top it off. So how good is the cold brew? After trying a few different approaches, I now brew mine in the fridge for convenience, letting it steep for about a week to make a nice dark roast concentrate with Bizzy Organic Dark & Bold grounds. The result is stellar, easily better than any coffee place cold brew I've had in the past couple of years. Filled to the max line, a full pitcher lasts me about 2 weeks when I have about an inch of coffee per day. I've found cold brew concentrate to be an extremely economical way to stretch costly grinds while creating the richest flavor and this pitcher is a key part of that. With this approach, I'm a happy customer. One thing I like to do while brewing a new batch of coffee is pouring about 1/3 of the brewed coffee into a tall cup and finishing that while brewing. This method has worked perfectly for me, as I have a new pot of coffee by the time I'm done with the old one. One thing to point out is that the pitcher is fairly big and the glass is relatively thin. And so I have always hand washed all parts of this pitcher, which has proven straightforward enough. While borasilicate and stainless steel should be dishwasher safe, this has become too important a piece of equipment for me to start playing around with. So I'm not the person to say how well it holds up in a dishwasher. My outlook is to treat this pitcher with the care it deserves and to be rewarded with its offerings for as long as possible. Overall the pitcher is an all-star at making the coffee I enjoy, being so simple to use that it becomes easy to take for granted. It is almost a trouble-free piece of kitchen hardware and has already paid for itself through sheer convenience. The quality definitely feels top notch, although the thinness of the glass means it needs to be treated with the care and respect it deserves. I would feel very comfortable recommending this product to almost anyone serious about making a quality cold brew at home.

Better than expected (Updated)!
This is a simple and effective solution to making a good cold brew. Too bad the process takes forever (no fault to the product). BUT if you want a stronger taste, after using purified cold water (try to get beans wet), let it sit out for 12 hours or longer but then place in the fridge and you'll notice it darker and richer. It is impossible if you think some ground beans won't end up in your coffee, they will BUT when you pour, as long as you leave the metal ring in, a little bit of coffee (water) and the beans usually get stuck and don't come out. If you're really nuts about it, you can use a cheese cloth but a bit of grounds won't hurt you and not sure you'd really taste it as it's so fine, barely noticeable. Those who keep braking the glass? You must use cold water if you immediately start cleaning the pot. Do NOT run under hot water while the pot is cold, you or course will shatter the glass at some point. Update (07/29/2020) I am still using this product and no issues with it. But it does leave the coffee grounds smell to it no matter what beans I use, so wash with soap after every use. Be sure to know, water will evaporate and also get soaked up in the coffee beans, so adding a little more water above Max may be helpful. Also, pro tip, when you take out the insert with the beans, put it over the lid and tilt it and let it rest for 3 Mins so all the water from the beans pours out, do NOT force it with your fingers as you'll get more grounds and will have a harsh flavor.

Great for iced tea and easy to use
Style: 51oz|Conical Styles
I use this for making iced tea and it works perfectly. You can use tea bags or loose-leaf tea, and both come out great. It’s easy to fill, strain, and clean, and I like that I can just keep it in the fridge and pour as I go. The airtight seal keeps everything fresh. Super convenient and a staple for my fridge now

Beautiful, convenient and plastic free..but on the small size
Style: 51oz|Conical Styles
I wanted a replacement for my Mr Coffee ice tea maker, which I loved, but I didn’t love the plastic, BPA free or not. Actually, I much prefer making tea in this tea maker. You need to plan ahead, to let it steep, but there is no need to deal with all the ice and dripping onto the counter like when using the Mr Coffee. I wanted to get the larger pot, but the larger sized variant is very tall and thin and would not fit in my refrigerator, even though I do have a good sized fridge. I do wish this one was a bit bigger, but for every day use this is just fine. I think it is simple and beautiful. Totally glad I purchased it.
