Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor, part number 604-45014, is part of the DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotor line by Dynamite Friction. The vented rotor design enhances airflow between the rotor surfaces, helping to maintain optimal braking temperatures during extended use. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 30 mm ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 27 mm indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 296 mm outside diameter and 67.4 mm inside diameter, are tailored to fit specific vehicle models, ensuring proper alignment and function.

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotor product line focuses on corrosion resistance and durability through a specialized coating process. This coating helps protect the rotor surface from rust and environmental wear, extending the service life of the rotor and maintaining consistent braking performance over time.
