Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that promotes efficient heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness measures 1.354 inches (42.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.535 inches (39.000 mm), ensuring safe replacement intervals. The rotor’s outside diameter is 14.291 inches (363.000 mm), and it mounts behind the hub using 12 bolt holes arranged on a 5.354-inch (136.000 mm) bolt circle diameter. The smooth surface finish supports consistent pad contact and braking performance. Note that 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
• Upgrading corroded rotors to prevent rust-related braking issues
• Addressing brake noise due to uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat management in braking systems prone to fade
• Maintaining OEM fitment and performance for compatible vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed behind the hub as specified. Verify the mounting bolt hole pattern and center hole diameter match the vehicle’s hub assembly. Clean the rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coating residue that could affect initial braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. This rotor does not include bearings or ABS tone rings, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s braking system.
