Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900616 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management essential for braking performance. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. With a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches and a discard thickness of 1 inch, this rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The rotor’s 11.63-inch diameter and 2.15-inch overall height are engineered to match the specifications required for Mercedes-Benz E320, E350, and E500 models, ensuring proper fit and function. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41-inch bolt circle diameter provide secure attachment to the vehicle’s hub assembly. This rotor features a non-directional braking surface, allowing installation on either side without performance compromise.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications
