An automotive disc brake assembly comprises a disc rotor made of graphite cast iron with a structure of pearlite, and a brake pad made of organic material. The disc rotor has a first thermal conductivity falling in a range from 0.090 to 0.140 cal/cm.sec..degree.C. The brake pad has second thermal conductivity falling in a range from 0.65 to 3.00 Kcal/mh.degree.C. The second thermal conductivity falls in a range from 0.65 to 0.98 Kcal/mh.degree.C. provided that the second thermal conductivity satisfies the following relationship with the first thermal conductivity:
