Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900516 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast iron construction, providing a solid and durable braking surface. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power. The rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. With a 5-bolt mounting pattern and a 120 mm bolt circle diameter, it is designed to fit Pontiac G8 vehicles precisely. The nominal thickness of 1.18 inches ensures a robust braking surface, while the discard thickness of 1.1 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety and performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Pontiac G8 models requiring a 298 mm vented disc brake rotor
• Ideal for replacing worn or damaged rotors to restore braking efficiency
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing brake noise, vibration, or reduced stopping power
• Addresses rotor thickness wear and heat-related brake fade issues

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of rust or debris before installation
• Check the mounting bolt holes and hub for proper fitment and alignment
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to maximize rotor and pad contact
