In response to Edward\'s interesting comment, a check of the internet shows that \"brake rotor\" is an alternative name for the brake disc (Bremsscheibe) in the US (you learn something new every day!) . However, according to the google hits \"brake disc\" is more common. Everyone will understand \"brake disc\", but Brits (+ Commonwealth?) may have problems with \"brake rotor\" (IMVHO)

Edward L. Crosby III
: In brake shops, the "brake discs" are frequently called "(brake) rotors" ("turn the rotors", etc.)..
