• Overall diameter of 305 mm and height of 56.3 mm

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black from Dynamite Friction is designed with a vented rotor type that helps dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during demanding driving conditions. The rotor surface is both drilled and slotted, which aids in channeling away gases, dust, and water, improving braking consistency and pad life. The directional brake surface ensures optimal performance when installed correctly according to the vehicle's rotation.

The rotor's hat is finished with a zinc black coating, providing enhanced resistance to rust and corrosion, which is essential for maintaining rotor integrity over time. With a nominal thickness of 26 mm and a discard thickness of 24.5 mm, this rotor meets the necessary specifications for safe and effective braking. The 5-lug bolt pattern with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter matches the factory specifications for the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer, ensuring proper fitment.
