Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5512 is a conventional, vented disc brake rotor constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat management. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.2 inches and a discard thickness of 1.17 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective braking on Cadillac Eldorado and Oldsmobile Toronado vehicles. The rotor features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The five mounting bolt holes with a 5-inch bolt circle diameter ensure secure attachment to the hub assembly.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Cadillac Eldorado
• Oldsmobile Toronado

This rotor is specifically designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these models, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR5512 Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
