Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR3208 disc brake rotor is engineered from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management essential for consistent braking. Its solid, full cast construction ensures structural integrity under normal driving conditions. The rotor measures 10.16 inches in diameter with a nominal thickness of 0.35 inches, allowing for a substantial braking surface. The discard thickness of 0.29 inches indicates the minimum thickness before replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance.

This rotor features a drum-in-hat design, which integrates the parking brake drum into the rotor itself, making it compatible with vehicles that use this system. The mounting bolt pattern includes five holes with a 4.41-inch bolt circle diameter, matching the specifications for the listed Mercedes-Benz models. The non-directional braking surface means the rotor can be installed on either side of the vehicle without affecting performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Mercedes-Benz 190E
• Mercedes-Benz 260E
• Mercedes-Benz 300CE
• Mercedes-Benz 300D
• Mercedes-Benz 300E
