Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55080 is a conventional, vented disc brake rotor made from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor measures 11.64 inches (295.7 mm) in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm), ensuring compatibility with the braking systems of Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue vehicles. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure a secure fitment. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.
