Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31247-01 disc brake rotor is crafted from cast iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and durability under braking stress. Its full cast construction ensures a solid, reliable rotor that maintains its shape and performance over time. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during extended use. A rust-resistant coating protects the rotor from corrosion, which is especially beneficial in regions with wet or salty road conditions.

This rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. It includes five mounting bolt holes with a 100 mm bolt circle diameter, designed to fit specific Saab and Subaru vehicles including the 9-2X, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and BRZ. The overall height measures 2.24 inches (57 mm), with a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm), ensuring compatibility with factory specifications.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading corroded rotors to improve braking reliability
• Resolving excessive brake noise due to rotor surface wear
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency from heat-related rotor damage
• Maintaining proper rotor thickness to ensure safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR31247-01 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify that the mounting bolt holes align correctly with the vehicle hub. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Always check rotor thickness against discard specifications to confirm suitability for reuse or replacement.
