Product Line Details: DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted
The DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted line by Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and slots in a directional pattern. This design improves brake pad cleaning and gas venting, which helps maintain consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. The vented rotor construction further aids in heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade. The Geospec silver grey hat finish and rust resistant coating contribute to durability and corrosion resistance, making this rotor suitable for daily driving and moderate performance use.
Technical Specifications and Features
This disc brake rotor features a 303 mm outside diameter and a 52.2 mm overall height, fitting vehicles with a 5-lug bolt pattern and 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 30.1 mm, with a discard thickness of 28.6 mm, ensuring it meets safety standards for wear limits. The drilled and slotted surface is directional, designed to optimize braking efficiency by allowing gases and debris to escape while maintaining pad contact. The rotor’s vented design improves airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking cycles.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement rotor for worn or warped rotors on Buick Impala and Chevrolet Monte Carlo
- Improves braking performance by reducing brake fade during extended use
- Helps prevent rust and corrosion with protective coatings
- Enhances brake pad cleaning and gas venting for consistent stopping power
- Suitable for vehicles experiencing uneven rotor wear or noise issues
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the rotor is compatible with your vehicle’s make, model, and year before installation. Clean the hub surface to remove rust or debris to ensure proper rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts with 14.2 mm diameter to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to maintain optimal braking performance.
