Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900580 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat dissipation. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to reduce heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches (25 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm), this rotor maintains consistent braking performance throughout its service life. The rotor measures 10.84 inches (275.3 mm) in outside diameter and features four mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.25 inch (108 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring a secure fit on compatible Ford Focus vehicles. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with various Ford Focus models, providing a direct replacement for worn or damaged rotors. It is designed for use in conventional braking systems and is suitable for vehicles equipped with drum-in-hat type rotors. The DuraGo BR900580 is ideal for drivers seeking a reliable rotor that meets OEM specifications for fit and function.

• Eliminates brake rotor warping and vibration
• Restores proper braking performance and pedal feel
• Addresses rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
• Reduces brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Prevents overheating and brake fade during extended use

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900580 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris to promote proper seating. Verify that the rotor thickness is within the specified nominal and discard limits before installation. Use appropriate torque specifications for the mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR900580 rotor to meet industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. While this rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating, its full cast iron construction provides reliable durability under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier, as they may vary by region or distributor.
