• Outside diameter of 12.01 inches (305 mm) suitable for specific Hyundai and Kia models
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without cross-drilled or slotted features

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901806 disc brake rotor is constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal conductivity essential for effective braking. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. With a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches (25 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and reliable braking performance.

Measuring 12.01 inches (305 mm) in outside diameter and featuring five mounting bolt holes on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle, the BR901806 is compatible with a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including the Hyundai Elantra, Kona, Sonata, and Kia K5, Kona Electric, and Niro EV. The rotor’s non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Hyundai Elantra
• Hyundai Kona and Kona Electric
• Hyundai Sonata
• Kia K5
• Kia Niro EV

This rotor is designed for use in conventional disc brake systems and is not equipped with an ABS tone ring, making it suitable for vehicles with compatible braking setups.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR901806

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Noise and pulsation caused by damaged or out-of-spec rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.91 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with vehicle’s brake system, especially regarding ABS tone ring presence
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal performance
