Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31285 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and efficient braking on Mazda Protege vehicles. The rotor measures 10.14 inches (257.6 mm) in outside diameter and features four mounting bolt holes arranged on a 100 mm bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Mazda Protege models requiring a 10.14 inch vented disc brake rotor
• Designed for use in conventional braking systems without ABS tone rings
• Suitable for drivers seeking replacement rotors that meet OEM thickness and size specifications
• Ideal for addressing issues such as brake noise, vibration, and reduced stopping power

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Verify bolt hole alignment with the vehicle’s hub using the 100 mm bolt circle diameter
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during installation for optimal braking performance
