Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and minimizing brake fade during extended use. The rotor’s dimensions, including an outside diameter of 11.65 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.26 inches, ensure compatibility with various Lexus models such as the GS400, LS400, and SC430. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLexus GS300, GS400, GS430\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLexus IS300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLexus LS400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLexus SC300, SC400, SC430\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these specific Lexus models, restoring braking efficiency and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR31172\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake pulsation caused by warped rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking performance due to rotor wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake noise from uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating and brake fade during heavy braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BR31172 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to maintain proper rotor alignment. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Verify that the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.18 inches before installation. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance. Proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts should be followed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo manufactures the BR31172 rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, its cast iron construction provides reliable durability under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DuraGo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584144277685,"sku":"GVMP-BR31172","price":57.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/PR_BR31172_Fro.jpg?v=1774634785","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/durago-br31172-disc-brake-rotor","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
