Product Details

Brembo’s Premium UV Coated OE Equivalent Rotor line is developed as a direct replacement for factory-style brake service. The solvent-free UV coating adds corrosion resistance to the disc surfaces, while the grey cast iron construction supports stable braking performance and driving comfort. For best results, Brembo recommends replacing rotors and pads together and pairing this rotor with NAO/Ceramic or Low Met brake pad formulations.

This part cross-references Centric Parts 120.44115 and DuraGo BR31269 for the same application. The Brembo 08.A273.21 is a rear rotor for 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, 2003-2006 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix, 2003-2006 Pontiac Vibe, and 2005-2010 Scion tC.

Common Brake Issues It Can Help Address

• Rear brake pulsation from worn rotor surfaces
• Brake noise caused by uneven or corroded rotors
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor wear below minimum thickness
• Corrosion on exposed braking surfaces
• Vibration during normal braking operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and rear-position fitment before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake noise or pedal pulsation. Replace pads at the same time as the rotor when restoring braking performance, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification during wheel installation.

Quality Assurance

Brembo develops this rotor as an OE-equivalent replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications for the listed applications. The UV-coated surface treatment and intelligent wear marking support long-term serviceability and straightforward inspection.
