Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901658 disc brake rotor is manufactured from cast iron, providing a robust and durable braking surface. Its vented construction allows air to flow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup and helping to maintain braking efficiency under demanding conditions. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.88 inches (22.4 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective brake performance. The rotor’s outside diameter of 12.99 inches (330 mm) and five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure proper fitment on compatible vehicles.

This rotor is designed as a conventional, solid disc without cross-drilling or slotting, and it does not include an ABS tone ring. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The overall height measures 1.78 inches (45.2 mm), and the center hole diameter is 2.64 inches (67 mm), matching OEM specifications for the intended vehicle applications.
