Details on the DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black is part of Dynamite Friction's DFC product line, which focuses on delivering rotors with enhanced cooling and consistent braking performance. The drilled holes and slots on the rotor surface help to reduce heat buildup and evacuate brake dust and gases, which can improve pad contact and reduce brake fade. The directional design ensures proper rotation alignment for optimal performance. The rotor is solid rather than vented, providing a robust braking surface suitable for the Smart Fortwo's specifications.

Technical Specifications and Features

• Nominal thickness: 9.5 mm; discard thickness: 8 mm to indicate rotor replacement timing
• Disc finish is plain, while the hat features a rust-resistant zinc black coating for corrosion protection
• 3 bolt holes and stud/lug holes with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a bolt circle diameter of 112 mm
• Center hole diameter measures 58 mm, ensuring proper fitment on the hub
• Overall height and height both measure 38.2 mm, matching OEM dimensions
• Outside diameter of 280 mm aligns with Smart Fortwo brake system requirements

Applications and Problem Solving

This rotor is designed for use on the Smart Fortwo and addresses several common braking issues:

• Reduces brake fade caused by overheating during frequent stops
• Improves brake pad cleaning and debris removal with slotted and drilled surface
• Prevents rust and corrosion with zinc black hat finish
• Maintains consistent braking performance with directional rotor design
• Ensures proper fitment and alignment with exact OEM bolt pattern and dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DFC Brake Rotor 633-63090L on a Smart Fortwo, ensure the rotor is mounted with the directional surface rotating correctly according to the vehicle’s forward motion. Verify that the bolt holes align with the hub and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications. Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to maximize rotor performance. Avoid contamination of the rotor surface with grease or oil during installation.
