• Nominal thickness: 1.1 inches (28 mm) with discard thickness at 1.04 inches (26.4 mm)
• Outside diameter: 11.81 inches (300 mm)
• Mounting bolt hole quantity: 5 with 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900280 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor made from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat management. Its vented construction helps reduce brake fade by allowing air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, which is essential for maintaining braking efficiency during extended use. The rotor measures 11.81 inches in outside diameter and features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches, with a discard thickness of 1.04 inches, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

This rotor is designed with five mounting bolt holes on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific Hyundai and Kia vehicles. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. It does not include an ABS tone ring and is a conventional rotor type, suitable for vehicles that do not require integrated ABS components.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Hyundai Forte, Forte5, Forte Koup
• Hyundai Optima, Sonata, Veloster
• Kia Rondo, Sportage, Tucson

This rotor is intended for use in standard braking systems on these models, providing replacement for worn or damaged rotors to restore braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade during extended braking
• Noise or squealing caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: no rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900280 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.04 inches to maintain safety standards. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris before installation. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts on the 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system, especially if ABS components are present, as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring.
