Dynamite Friction 7002-56001 Disc Brake Rotor Set - Front
Front Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors
Dynamite Friction DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver, part number 7002-56001, are front disc brake rotors built for drivers who want OE-style fitment with added performance features. This rotor set is compatible with select Ford Contour and Mercury Cougar front brake applications from 1998-2002.
The drilled and slotted design helps increase pad bite, shed heat, and clear brake dust and road debris. That makes this DFC rotor set a practical choice for front brake service on a 1998-2002 Ford Contour or Mercury Cougar when you want more consistent stopping performance in wet or demanding driving conditions.
- Drilled holes help reduce heat buildup in the rotor face
- Slots help remove debris and reduce pad glazing
- Non-directional finish supports faster, more even pad bed-in
- GEOSPEC coating and G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction
- Machined to tight tolerances and 100% inspected for balance and critical dimensions
- Front disc brake rotor set for select Ford Contour and Mercury Cougar applications
