Product Line Details: DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black
The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black line by Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that feature a combination of drilled holes and slots on the braking surface. This design improves heat dissipation and helps reduce brake fade under demanding conditions. The black zinc coating on the rotor hat provides corrosion resistance, extending the rotor's service life. This product line is tailored for drivers seeking a balance between performance and durability in their braking components.
Technical Specifications and Features
This disc brake rotor is vented to allow better airflow and heat management during braking. The directional surface pattern, featuring both drilled holes and slots, aids in removing brake dust and gases, which can improve pad contact and braking efficiency. The rotor's nominal thickness is 30.1 mm, with a discard thickness of 28.6 mm, ensuring it meets safety standards for replacement. The rotor fits vehicles with a 5-lug bolt pattern, 14.2 mm bolt hole diameter, and a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. The zinc black finish on the hat section provides rust resistance, while the plain disc finish maintains consistent braking surface quality.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement rotor for worn or warped brake rotors on Buick Lucerne and Chevrolet Impala models
