Detailed Product Description

This Dynamite Friction rotor features a vented design that improves airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power. The drilled and slotted surface enhances brake pad bite and assists in channeling away dust and gases generated under heavy braking. The directional surface ensures optimal performance when installed correctly. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 26 mm and discard thickness of 23 mm provide a clear service life indicator for maintenance. The Geospec silver grey hat finish adds corrosion resistance and a clean appearance, complemented by a rust resistant coating on the rotor surface to extend service life.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed with the directional surface facing the correct rotation direction for optimal performance. Verify bolt hole alignment with the vehicle’s hub using the 5-bolt, 115 mm bolt circle diameter pattern. Check rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal 26 mm thickness and is above the discard thickness of 23 mm. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or residues before mounting brake pads.
