Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes that help dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 0.945 inches (24.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary. The overall height measures 2.228 inches (56.600 mm), and the outside diameter is 11.555 inches (293.500 mm), ensuring proper fitment and performance. The rotor mounts using a floating disc mounting system with five lug holes sized at 0.508 inches (12.900 mm) diameter, and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 100 mm (3.937 inches). This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade on Saab 9-2X and Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and Baja models
• Resolving noise or vibration issues related to damaged or uneven rotor surfaces
• Ensuring proper rotor fitment for vehicles requiring a 5-lug, 100 mm bolt circle diameter rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness
• Clean rotor surface and hub mounting area to prevent uneven wear or vibration
• Use proper torque specifications for lug nuts to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Ensure compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
