Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55082 disc brake rotor is a conventional, vented rotor specifically designed for Cadillac CTS vehicles. Its full cast iron construction provides a balance of durability and thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. The rotor measures 11.92 inches in outside diameter and features a nominal thickness of 1.27 inches, with a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, ensuring it meets OEM specifications for safe operation. The vented design enhances airflow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. This rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.53-inch bolt circle diameter, compatible with the Cadillac CTS brake assembly. The non-directional braking surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during heavy braking
• Restoring proper rotor dimensions for consistent brake pad contact
• Ensuring compatibility with Cadillac CTS brake systems requiring 5-bolt mounting

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor dimensions and bolt pattern match your Cadillac CTS before installation
• Inspect brake pads and calipers for wear or damage during rotor replacement
• Clean rotor mounting surface to ensure proper fit and avoid vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to prevent rotor movement
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize braking performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo disc brake rotors are manufactured to meet industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. While this product does not include a rust-resistant coating, the full cast iron construction provides reliable structural integrity. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
