Detailed Product Description
The DuraGo BR53000 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor specifically designed for the Chrysler PT Cruiser. Its cast iron construction provides a balance of strength and heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency under various driving conditions. The vented design helps reduce rotor temperature, minimizing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.91 inch and a discard thickness of 0.84 inch, this rotor offers a clear service life indicator to help maintain optimal braking performance. The rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 3.94 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter ensures compatibility with the PT Cruiser's hub assembly.
