Product Line Details: DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver

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 efficiently than plain rotors, which can improve braking consistency under demanding conditions. The silver zinc coating on the rotor hat provides corrosion resistance, extending the rotor's service life, especially in environments prone to rust.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to dissipate heat generated during braking. The rotor’s directional surface pattern, featuring both drilled holes and slots, is optimized to maintain clean contact with brake pads and reduce brake fade. The rotor measures 298 mm in outside diameter with a height of 48 mm, fitting the specified Cadillac models precisely. The zinc silver finish on the hat section offers protection against rust, while the plain disc finish ensures consistent braking performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or warped rotors on Cadillac CTS and STS models
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy braking
• Helps maintain braking performance in wet or dusty conditions
• Addresses rotor corrosion issues with rust-resistant coating
• Enhances brake pad bite and reduces gas buildup with drilled and slotted design

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 24 mm before installation. The rotor features five bolt holes with a 12.8 mm diameter and a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm, matching the factory specifications for Cadillac CTS and STS models. Proper torque specifications should be followed when mounting the rotor to avoid warping. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and hardware during installation for optimal performance.

Quality Assurance

Dynamite Friction rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit and function. The rust-resistant zinc silver coating on the rotor hat enhances durability. While no specific warranty information is provided, the product is designed for reliable performance in line with industry standards for replacement brake rotors.
