Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 22 mm and a discard thickness of 20 mm, ensuring a clear service limit for safe operation. The vented design improves airflow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking. With an outside diameter of 257 mm and a height of 45 mm, this rotor fits securely on vehicles requiring four 13 mm bolt holes spaced to match the OEM pattern. The inside diameter of 55 mm aligns with hub dimensions for proper installation and performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

  • Improves braking consistency on Mazda MX-3 and Protege vehicles
  • Addresses rotor overheating issues with vented design
  • Restores proper rotor thickness to maintain braking efficiency
  • Compatible with vehicles requiring four-bolt rotor mounting

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the bolt hole pattern and rotor dimensions match your vehicle’s specifications. Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to manufacturer-recommended settings. Check rotor thickness regularly to avoid exceeding the discard thickness of 20 mm for safety.
