Its cast iron construction offers a balance of durability and thermal conductivity, helping to reduce brake fade during extended use. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, enhancing heat dissipation and maintaining braking efficiency. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches and a discard thickness of 0.89 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe operation and replacement intervals. The rotor features a 9.99-inch outside diameter and four mounting bolt holes arranged on a 3.94-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional braking surface allows for flexible rotor placement without concern for rotation direction, and the conventional rotor style is compatible with standard Kia Rio braking systems without ABS tone ring requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicle:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKia Rio (specific model years should be verified for exact fitment)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors and restore braking performance to factory standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR31359\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake pulsation caused by warped rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake noise from uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating and brake fade during prolonged 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 BR31359 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Verify rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Use proper torque specifications on mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo manufactures the BR31359 rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The full cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking performance. While this rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating, proper maintenance can help extend its service life. Warranty details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DuraGo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584294355125,"sku":"GVMP-BR31359","price":35.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/PR_BR31359_Fro.jpg?v=1774634831","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/durago-br31359-disc-brake-rotor","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
