Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900818 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches and a discard thickness of 1.06 inches, this rotor ensures a long service life while meeting Volkswagen’s specifications. The rotor’s 13.58-inch outside diameter and 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.41-inch bolt circle diameter make it compatible with various Volkswagen models including the CC, Golf R, Passat, Passat CC, and R32. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Volkswagen CC
• Volkswagen Golf R
• Volkswagen Passat

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.06 inches before installation. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts with a 4.41-inch bolt circle diameter. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Verify compatibility with your specific Volkswagen model and brake system before installation.
