• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR5480 rotor is a full cast iron disc designed to provide consistent braking performance. Its vented construction allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, enhancing heat dissipation and reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor measures 14.74 inches in outside diameter and 3.81 inches in overall height, fitting vehicles requiring a 6-bolt mounting pattern with a 7.25-inch bolt circle diameter. The nominal thickness of 1.35 inches ensures durability, while the discard thickness of 1.23 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking.

Compatible Vehicle Applications

This rotor is compatible with various makes and models that require a 14.74-inch vented disc brake rotor with 6 mounting bolts and a 7.25-inch bolt circle diameter. It is suitable for vehicles that use conventional rotors without ABS tone rings and require a non-directional brake surface. Always verify fitment with your specific vehicle's requirements before installation.

Common Issues Addressed by the DuraGo BR5480 Rotor

• Brake fade caused by overheating during heavy braking
• Uneven rotor wear leading to vibration or noise
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or warped rotors
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)
• Maintaining proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the mounting bolt pattern and rotor dimensions match your vehicle specifications. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors for optimal performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR5480 rotor with strict quality control standards to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The cast iron construction and vented design contribute to reliable braking performance. Warranty details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier, as they may vary by region and application.
