Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver is constructed with a vented rotor design that allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. The rotor’s surface is both drilled and slotted, which assists in removing brake dust, gases, and water from the contact area, improving braking consistency under various conditions. The directional brake surface ensures optimal performance when installed in the correct orientation.

The rotor’s nominal thickness is 30 mm, with a discard thickness of 28.45 mm, indicating when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking. The zinc silver coating on the hat area provides rust resistance, extending the rotor’s service life. The rotor features five bolt holes sized 1/2-20 with a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm, matching the stud/lug hole circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Ford models.
