Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55011 is a full cast disc brake rotor specifically designed for Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. Its cast iron construction offers a balance of durability and effective heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency during extended use. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of overheating and brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.79 inches and a discard thickness of 0.72 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe replacement intervals. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.75 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Corvette models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with Chevrolet Corvette models that require a 12.01 inch rotor diameter and five-bolt mounting pattern. It is suitable for drivers seeking a direct replacement rotor that meets factory specifications for thickness and overall height.

• Restores braking performance on worn or warped rotors
• Addresses brake pulsation and vibration issues
• Replaces rotors with excessive wear beyond discard thickness
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade
• Ensures proper rotor fitment for Chevrolet Corvette brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR55011 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Use proper torque specifications for the mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
