Technical Specifications and Features

This rotor is a solid type with a smooth surface finish, designed to deliver stable and predictable braking. The nominal thickness of 0.394 inches (10.000 mm) ensures adequate material for heat dissipation and wear resistance, while the discard thickness of 0.331 inches (8.400 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s outside diameter of 10.315 inches (262 mm) and overall height of 2.409 inches (61.200 mm) are matched to the specified Hyundai and Kia models for proper fitment. The 5 lug holes and mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) ensure secure installation on compatible vehicles.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Hyundai Elantra
• Hyundai ix35
• Kia Sportage
• Kia Tucson

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged disc brake rotors on these specific models, restoring braking efficiency and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Corrosion and rust buildup reducing rotor lifespan
• Uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities
• Reduced braking performance from worn or thin rotors
• Noise and pulsation during braking caused by damaged rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.331 inches (8.400 mm) before installation. Clean the hub surface to remove rust and debris for proper rotor seating. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 lug nuts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s braking system. It is recommended to replace rotors in pairs for balanced braking performance.
