Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black is constructed with a vented rotor design that promotes airflow between the rotor surfaces, helping to prevent brake fade during extended use. The rotor surface is both drilled and slotted in a directional pattern, which assists in channeling away brake dust, gases, and water for improved pad contact and braking efficiency. The rotor’s hat is finished with a zinc black coating, providing rust resistance and durability in various driving conditions.
With a nominal thickness of 25 mm and a discard thickness of 23 mm, this rotor maintains structural integrity while allowing for safe wear limits. The rotor measures 320 mm in outside diameter and 48.5 mm in overall height, fitting precisely on Mazda 3 models with a 5-lug bolt pattern and a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter is 72 mm, and the stud/lug hole diameter is 13.8 mm, ensuring proper fitment and secure mounting.
