Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31356 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast iron construction, providing consistent heat dissipation and structural integrity under braking stress. Its solid, non-directional surface ensures even pad wear and smooth braking response. The drum-in-hat design integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it compatible with vehicles equipped with rear drum parking brakes. This rotor features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, matching factory specifications for Lexus Highlander and Toyota RX series models. The absence of cross-drilling or slotting means this rotor is optimized for standard driving conditions without compromising rotor strength.
