Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black is a vented rotor, which means it has internal vanes between the braking surfaces to help dissipate heat more effectively during braking. The rotor’s surface is both drilled and slotted in a directional pattern, which aids in removing brake dust, gases, and water from the contact area, improving braking consistency and reducing the risk of brake fade. The zinc black finish on the rotor hat provides additional corrosion resistance, extending the rotor’s service life, especially in harsh environments.

With a nominal thickness of 20 mm and a discard thickness of 18 mm, this rotor maintains structural integrity and safety throughout its lifespan. The 5-bolt hole configuration with a 110 mm bolt circle diameter ensures compatibility with the specified Cadillac and Saab models. The center hole diameter of 65.5 mm and stud/lug hole diameter of 14.2 mm are designed to match factory specifications for proper fitment.
