• Nominal thickness of 24 mm with a discard thickness of 22 mm
• Rust-resistant zinc silver hat finish for corrosion protection
• 5 bolt holes with 12.9 mm diameter and 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter
• Outside diameter of 294 mm and height of 48.46 mm
• Center hole diameter of 58 mm for precise fitment

Details on the DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver Line

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver line by Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and slots on the braking surface. This design helps to evacuate gases, dust, and water more effectively than plain rotors, contributing to improved brake pad contact and reduced fade. The silver zinc coating on the rotor hat enhances corrosion resistance, extending the rotor's service life in various driving environments.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to dissipate heat efficiently. The rotor's nominal thickness is 24 mm, with a discard thickness of 22 mm, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor features a directional surface pattern with both drilled holes and slots, which aids in maintaining consistent braking under wet or high-stress conditions. The zinc silver finish on the hat provides rust resistance, helping to preserve the rotor's structural integrity over time.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement rotor for Subaru Forester models requiring vented, drilled, and slotted rotors
• Addresses brake fade caused by excessive heat buildup during heavy braking
• Improves braking performance in wet conditions by channeling water away from the rotor surface
• Reduces brake dust accumulation for cleaner braking components
• Prevents corrosion on the rotor hat to extend rotor lifespan

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 22 mm before installation. Properly clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or residues before mounting. Verify the 5-bolt hole pattern with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter matches the vehicle hub. Use appropriate torque specifications for lug nuts to avoid rotor warping. Directional rotors must be installed with the correct rotation direction for optimal performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Dynamite Friction manufactures the 631-13048L rotor to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The rust-resistant coating and vented design contribute to long-term reliability. Warranty details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier, as they may vary by region or distributor.
