Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5560 is a full cast disc brake rotor specifically designed for the Pontiac Firebird. Its cast iron construction provides a balance of durability and effective heat dissipation, essential for maintaining braking efficiency. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to prevent brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.97 inches and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, this rotor meets the necessary specifications for safe replacement. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Firebird models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Pontiac Firebird models requiring a 283 mm (11.14 inch) disc brake rotor
• Suitable for vehicles using conventional, vented rotors with 5 mounting bolts
• Designed for applications without ABS tone ring requirements
• Ideal replacement for worn or damaged rotors to restore braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.91 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary during rotor installation
• Perform a test drive to verify proper braking function after installation
