Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and maintain braking efficiency under demanding conditions. With a nominal thickness of 1.26 inches and a discard thickness of 1.18 inches, this rotor provides a balance between longevity and performance. The 12.8-inch diameter rotor fits the braking systems of the Cadillac XLR and Chevrolet Corvette, ensuring proper fitment and function. The rotor features a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.75-inch bolt circle diameter, matching factory specifications for these vehicles. This conventional, non-directional rotor does not include cross-drilling or slotting, which suits drivers seeking a standard replacement rotor without additional surface modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadillac XLR requiring a 12.8-inch vented disc brake rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Corvette models compatible with part number BR55101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged rotors to restore braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing issues such as brake noise, vibration, or reduced stopping power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for routine maintenance and brake system overhauls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.18 inches) before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform a test drive to verify proper brake function after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo manufactures the BR55101 rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
