• Outside diameter of 13.58 inches (345 mm) suitable for specific vehicle fitments
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.72 inch (120 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for flexible installation
• Conventional rotor type without cross-drilling or slotting

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901626 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management. 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 1.18 inches and a discard thickness of 1.06 inches, this rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The rotor measures 13.58 inches in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.72 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring precise fitment on compatible vehicles.

This rotor is designed for use on select Cadillac and Chevrolet models, including the Camaro, CT5, CT6, and CTS. Its non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotor orientation. The conventional rotor construction means it does not include cross-drilled or slotted features, focusing on standard braking performance and longevity.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Cadillac CT5 and CT6 models requiring a 13.58 inch vented rotor
• Cadillac CTS with matching bolt pattern and rotor dimensions
• Chevrolet Camaro models compatible with 5-bolt vented rotors

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping due to heat buildup
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Vibration or pulsation during braking
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.06 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with ABS systems; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR901626 rotor to meet industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, its full cast iron construction is designed for durability under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
