DuraGo BR3205 Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Overview of DuraGo BR3205 Disc Brake Rotor

The DuraGo BR3205 disc brake rotor is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Mercedes-Benz models. Designed with durable cast iron and a vented construction, this rotor supports consistent heat dissipation and long service life for vehicles like the 190E, 260E, and 300CE.

• Material: Cast iron for strength and durability
• Vented rotor design to improve cooling
• Nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm)
• Outside diameter of 11.17 inches (283.7 mm)
• Five mounting bolt holes with 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type compatible with drum-in-hat systems

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR3205 is a full cast disc brake rotor made from high-quality cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.76 inches (19.4 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for proper brake system function and safety.

Measuring 11.17 inches (283.7 mm) in outside diameter and featuring five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle, the BR3205 is engineered to fit a range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles including the 190E, 260E, 300CE, 300D, 300TD, 300TE, 560SL, and E300. The rotor’s non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotation direction, and it does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor integration on the rotor.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade on Mercedes-Benz 190E and 300CE models
• Ensuring proper fitment and secure mounting on vehicles with 5-bolt patterns

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness of 0.76 inches (19.4 mm)
• Clean mounting surfaces and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR3205 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 and durability. While specific warranty details may vary, DuraGo typically offers coverage against defects in materials and workmanship to provide confidence in product reliability.
