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

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 improves water and gas evacuation during braking, reducing brake fade and maintaining consistent performance. The zinc silver hat finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance, extending rotor life especially in environments prone to rust. This product line is tailored for drivers seeking a balance between performance and durability in their brake components.

Product Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. The directional slotted and drilled surface enhances pad bite and helps clear brake dust and moisture, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 24 mm, with a discard thickness of 22.2 mm, ensuring safe replacement intervals. The zinc silver hat finish and rust-resistant coating protect the rotor from corrosion, which is important for longevity and consistent performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Designed specifically for Ford Contour models
• Compatible with Mercury Cougar vehicles
• Ideal for drivers needing replacement rotors that meet OEM specifications
• Suitable for addressing issues such as brake fade, rotor warping, and uneven pad wear
• Recommended for maintaining optimal braking performance in daily driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any contaminants before installation. Verify that the rotor thickness is within the specified nominal and discard limits to maintain safety. Use proper torque specifications for the four 13.75 mm bolt holes on the 108 mm bolt circle diameter. The directional surface requires correct orientation during installation to function as intended. It is advisable to inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement to ensure overall system integrity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Dynamite Friction manufactures this rotor to meet industry standards for fitment and performance on Ford Contour and Mercury Cougar vehicles. The rust-resistant coating and zinc silver hat finish contribute to durability and corrosion resistance.
