This product line is designed to provide consistent braking performance while resisting rust and corrosion, thanks to its zinc silver coating on the rotor hat. The vented rotor design further aids in heat dissipation, making it suitable for daily driving and moderate performance needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications and Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a vented design with a directional surface that includes both drilled holes and slots. The drilled and slotted surface helps to evacuate gases and debris from the brake pad contact area, improving braking response and reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor measures 296 mm in outside diameter and 51 mm in height, with a nominal thickness of 30 mm and a discard thickness of 27 mm, ensuring durability and longevity within specified wear limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rotor hat is finished with a zinc silver coating to resist rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. It includes five bolt holes with a diameter of 16.3 mm arranged on a 120 mm bolt circle diameter, compatible with vehicles such as the Buick Regal and Saab 9-5. The center hole diameter is 67.4 mm, matching OEM specifications for proper fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuick LaCrosse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuick Regal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Malibu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Malibu Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaab 9-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rotor is designed for use in disc brake systems on the above models, providing reliable stopping power and improved heat management for everyday driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Rotor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade caused by excessive heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven brake pad wear due to poor rotor surface design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion and rust on rotor hats reducing lifespan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency from gas and debris accumulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration or noise from warped or damaged rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the rotor is installed on compatible vehicles listed above, matching the bolt pattern and center hole diameter. Check the rotor thickness before installation; replace if below the discard thickness of 27 mm. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris before mounting. Proper torque specifications should be followed for the 5 lug bolts to ensure secure fitment and avoid warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDynamite Friction manufactures this rotor to meet OEM standards for fit and function.
