At 345mm in diameter and 30mm thick, the 09.D174.53 uses Brembo's high carbon cast iron formula to reduce noise and vibration while maximizing stopping power. The grooved surface promotes consistent pad contact, improved heat dissipation, and better wet-weather bite over a smooth rotor. The solvent-free UV coating protects all surfaces including the braking faces from oxidation during storage and break-in, so your new rotors arrive corrosion-free and ready to install. Brembo is the OE brake supplier for Porsche, making this rotor a factory-quality direct replacement that meets or exceeds the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrembo 09.D174.53 front grooved UV coated rotor for 2015-2018 Porsche Macan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e345mm diameter x 30mm thickness, 28mm minimum discard thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh carbon cast iron construction reduces noise, vibration, and heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrooved rotor surface for improved pad bite, heat dissipation, and wet performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolvent-free UV coating protects disc including braking surfaces during storage and break-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent part number and minimum thickness marking etched on disc face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes fixing screw kit with all hardware for a clean installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets or exceeds OEM specifications for direct replacement fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually per rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorsche\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan (2.0T, option 1LA\/1LE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorsche\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan S (3.0, option 1LA\/1LE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorsche\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan GTS (3.0, option 1LA\/1LE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorsche\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacan Turbo (3.6, option 1LA\/1LE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment requires option code 1LA or 1LE (base black caliper).

A plain rotor relies solely on surface contact without this additional wiping effect. For performance-oriented street driving, the grooved rotor offers a noticeable improvement in initial bite and consistent pedal feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Brembo 09.D174.53 fit my Macan with PCCB ceramic brakes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 09.D174.53 is designed for Porsche Macan vehicles equipped with option code 1LA or 1LE, which is the standard steel brake package with black calipers. Macan models equipped with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system use a different carbon-ceramic rotor that is not interchangeable with this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to replace both front rotors at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Brembo strongly recommends replacing both front rotors as a matched pair to maintain even braking force distribution and prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side during braking. The 09.D174.53 is sold individually, so two units are required for a complete front axle replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eShould I replace my brake pads when installing the 09.D174.53 rotors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Brembo recommends replacing brake pads and rotors together for optimal braking performance. Worn pads installed on new rotors will reduce rotor service life and compromise braking effectiveness. Brembo's Low-Met and NAO\/Ceramic pad formulations are engineered to work in tandem with Brembo rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the UV coating on the Brembo rotor affect braking performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV coating is a solvent-free protective layer applied to all rotor surfaces including the braking faces. During the first few brake applications, the coating on the braking surfaces burns off cleanly, leaving the high carbon cast iron ready for normal operation. The coating on the hat and vanes remains, providing long-term corrosion protection in those areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the grooved rotor do for brake pad life?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grooves act as a wiping edge that continuously deglazes the pad surface during braking, which helps maintain consistent friction and can extend usable pad life compared to a severely glazed smooth rotor surface. The grooves also channel away gas, dust, and debris from the pad-rotor interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I confirm my Macan has the 1LA or 1LE brake option?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe option code can be confirmed by checking your vehicle's build sheet (Porsche Certificate of Authenticity), checking the door jamb sticker on some models, or contacting a Porsche dealer with your VIN. The 1LA and 1LE codes denote the standard black-caliper steel brake package that fits the 09.D174.53 rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat torque specs are required for rotor installation on the Porsche Macan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixing screw that secures the rotor hat to the hub is typically torqued to 10 Nm (7.4 ft-lb) for Macan applications. Wheel bolts are torqued to 130 Nm (96 ft-lb). Always refer to the Porsche Macan workshop manual for your specific model year for authoritative torque specifications and verify alignment after installation if suspension components were disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lift the vehicle and support on jack stands.
