Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55096 is a full cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Cadillac CTS, Seville, and STS models. Its vented construction allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor measures 11.93 inches in outside diameter with a nominal thickness of 1.27 inches, ensuring compatibility with factory specifications. The mounting bolt pattern includes five holes with a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching OEM fitment requirements. This rotor features a non-directional braking surface, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle without performance loss. The absence of a rust-resistant coating means routine maintenance may be necessary to prevent corrosion over time.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Cadillac models:
