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

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver line from Dynamite Friction offers a balance of durability and performance through its vented design and directional surface. The drilled and slotted pattern helps reduce brake fade by improving heat dissipation and removing debris from the rotor surface. The zinc silver coating on the rotor hat provides corrosion resistance, extending the rotor's service life in various driving conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

This rotor has a nominal thickness of 24 mm and a discard thickness of 22 mm, ensuring it meets safety standards for replacement. The rotor's outside diameter measures 278 mm with an overall height of 46.9 mm, fitting precisely on compatible vehicles. The 5-bolt hole configuration with 14 mm diameter holes and a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter matches the factory specifications for the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner. The vented rotor design improves cooling efficiency, while the directional slotted and drilled surface enhances braking response and reduces noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy braking
• Helps eliminate brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Resists rust and corrosion for longer rotor life in humid or wet environments
• Maintains consistent braking performance under varied driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 22 mm before installation. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting. Verify the 5-bolt hole pattern and bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm match the vehicle hub. Properly torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
