Detailed Product Description
This Dynamite Friction DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver is designed to meet the specific braking requirements of Ford Contour and Mercury Cougar vehicles. The rotor's vented construction allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to prevent brake fade. The directional slotted and drilled surface improves water and gas evacuation, which supports consistent braking performance under various driving conditions.
The rotor features a plain disc finish combined with a zinc silver hat finish that includes a rust-resistant coating to help extend the rotor's service life. With a nominal thickness of 24 mm and a discard thickness of 22.2 mm, this rotor maintains structural integrity and safety standards throughout its usable life. The four bolt holes and stud/lug holes, each with a diameter of 13.75 mm and a bolt circle diameter of 108 mm, ensure proper fitment and secure mounting.
