Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5544 rotor is a full cast iron disc brake rotor specifically designed for Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. Its vented construction allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to prevent brake fade. The rotor measures 11.75 inches in outside diameter and 3.08 inches in overall height, fitting precisely with the Corvette's brake assembly. With a nominal thickness of 1.25 inches and a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe and effective braking performance. The 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.75-inch bolt circle diameter ensures proper fitment and secure installation. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible placement on either side of the vehicle.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thinning
• Resolving noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat management
• Ensuring proper fitment for Chevrolet Corvette brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it exceeds discard thickness
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor misalignment
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for safety
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to optimize rotor performance
• Check for compatibility with vehicle ABS systems as this rotor lacks an ABS tone ring
