The rotor measures 305 mm in outside diameter and has a height of 57 mm, making it compatible with specific Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer vehicles. The vented design allows for better heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 26 mm, with a minimum thickness threshold of 24 mm to ensure safe operation. Additionally, the UV coating provides a protective layer against corrosion, extending the rotor’s service life in environments prone to moisture and road salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Premium UV Coated OE Equivalent Rotor Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Premium UV Coated OE Equivalent Rotor line by Brembo offers rotors engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
