Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with pillar-style vanes, which enhances airflow and cooling during braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 1.260 inches (32.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30.000 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary. The outside diameter of 13.972 inches (354.900 mm) and overall height of 2.783 inches (70.700 mm) ensure compatibility with Tesla’s braking system. The rotor mounts using a floating disc mounting system and includes five lug holes sized at 0.654 inches (16.600 mm) diameter on a 120 mm bolt circle diameter. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Tesla Model S and Model X
• Addresses brake pulsation and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores proper rotor thickness to maintain safe braking performance
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing rotor scoring or surface damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets the nominal thickness specifications. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting. Verify that the floating disc mounting system is properly aligned and that the five lug holes correspond to the vehicle’s bolt pattern. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, inspect and reuse or replace those components as necessary. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping.
