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

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver line from Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and slots to improve brake pad bite and heat dissipation. This design helps reduce brake fade and maintain consistent braking performance 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 Description and Specifications

This vented disc brake rotor features a 308 mm outside diameter and a 102.9 mm overall height, making it compatible with specific Ford and Lincoln models. The rotor’s drilled and slotted surface enhances water and gas evacuation from the braking surface, improving pad contact and braking response. The rotor includes five bolt holes with a 12x1.75 mm diameter and a 135 mm bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on the designated vehicles. The zinc silver hat finish provides rust resistance, while the plain disc finish maintains a clean braking surface.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Compatible with Ford F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator models requiring vented rotors
• Addresses brake fade caused by excessive heat during towing or heavy braking
• Improves braking performance in wet conditions by channeling water away from the rotor surface
• Reduces brake pad glazing and uneven wear through slotted and drilled design
• Helps prevent rust and corrosion on the rotor hat for longer service life

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed on vehicles with a 5-lug bolt pattern and 135 mm bolt circle diameter. Verify the bolt hole diameter of 12x1.75 mm matches your vehicle’s specifications. Proper cleaning of the rotor surface before installation is recommended to remove any protective coatings. Use appropriate torque specifications for lug nuts to avoid rotor warping. Directional rotors must be installed following the indicated rotation direction for optimal performance.

Quality Assurance

Dynamite Friction manufactures the 631-54153L rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The rust-resistant coating and vented design contribute to durability and consistent braking performance. Warranty information is available through the manufacturer and should be consulted for specific coverage details.
