Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900498 disc brake rotor is constructed from durable cast iron, providing consistent braking performance and structural integrity. Its vented design enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of rotor warping and brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, this rotor offers a balance between longevity and safety, ensuring it can be resurfaced within limits before replacement is necessary.

Designed as a conventional, non-directional rotor, the BR900498 allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes with a 4.33-inch bolt circle diameter, compatible with Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 vehicles. The absence of an ABS tone ring means this rotor is intended for models without ABS sensor integration on the rotor itself.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chevrolet Cobalt disc brake replacement
• Pontiac G5 front or rear rotor upgrade
• Replacement rotor for vented brake systems on specified models
• Addressing rotor wear, thickness below discard limits, or rotor warping
• Suitable for vehicles requiring conventional, non-slotted rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum specifications
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with existing brake pads and calipers on Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5
• Inspect brake system components for wear during rotor replacement
