Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Corrosion protection to prevent rust buildup on braking surfaces
• Improved heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores braking performance on Acura and Honda vehicles with OEM specifications
• Addresses rotor thickness below discard limits for safe braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the discard thickness of 0.827 inches (21.000 mm). Clean the hub surface and mounting area to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug nuts with 0.496 inch (12.600 mm) diameter holes. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s braking system. The floating disc mounting design requires careful alignment during installation to maintain proper rotor function.
