Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31243 rotor is a vented, full cast iron disc brake rotor designed to meet the braking demands of Acura and Honda Accord and CL models. Its vented construction allows for better heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.84 inches (21.4 mm), ensuring a clear service life indicator for replacement. With an outside diameter of 10.24 inches (260 mm) and an overall height of 1.86 inches (47.2 mm), this rotor fits precisely with the specified vehicle models. The 4 mounting bolt holes with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter provide secure installation, while the non-directional brake surface allows for flexible rotor positioning during installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Improving heat management in braking systems prone to overheating
• Upgrading from drum-in-hat or other rotor types to a conventional vented rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Check compatibility with ABS systems; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal performance
