Detailed Product Description

This Centric C-TEK Standard Disc Brake Rotor 121.61116 is a vented rotor designed to fit Ford Mustang models. The vented design with 41 pillar-style vanes enhances airflow, helping to reduce heat buildup during braking. The rotor features a smooth surface type, which is ideal for standard brake pad materials and ensures consistent contact and wear. With a nominal thickness of 1.339 inches and a discard thickness of 1.244 inches, this rotor provides a clear service life indicator to maintain safe braking performance. The overall height of 2.524 inches and an outside diameter of nearly 15 inches ensure compatibility with the Mustang’s braking system.
