Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 24 mm and a discard thickness of 22 mm, ensuring a long service life before replacement is necessary. The coated hat finish helps protect against rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's durability. With an outside diameter of 293.5 mm and a 5-lug bolt pattern on a 100 mm bolt circle diameter, this rotor is engineered for exact fitment on compatible Saab and Subaru models. The smooth surface type promotes even brake pad wear and consistent braking performance. Additionally, the floating disc mounting design allows for slight movement to maintain proper alignment and reduce stress on the braking system.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading from solid to vented rotors for better heat management
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface damage
• Restoring braking performance on Saab 9-2X and Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and Baja
• Ensuring proper rotor thickness for safe braking operation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below 22 mm discard thickness
• Ensure proper cleaning of hub surface to prevent rotor runout
