Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901618 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface suitable for daily driving conditions. Its vented design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, this rotor maintains optimal performance throughout its service life. The rotor measures 12.28 inches in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring compatibility with specific Acura and Honda models.

This rotor is designed as a conventional, non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. It does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles that do not require this feature. The overall height of 1.86 inches supports proper fitment and alignment within the brake assembly.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Acura ILX
• Honda Accord
• Honda Civic

It is specifically engineered to meet the braking requirements of these models, ensuring proper fit and function when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Corrosion and surface damage affecting rotor lifespan
• Uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.91 inches before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor distortion
• Check compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal braking performance
