Product Line Details: DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted
The DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted line focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and precision slots to improve brake pad bite and reduce heat buildup. This design supports consistent braking under demanding conditions by venting gases and debris away from the contact surface. The directional surface pattern and vented rotor construction contribute to enhanced cooling, making it suitable for daily driving and moderate performance applications on compatible Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models.
Technical Description and Specifications
This disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 26 mm and a discard thickness of 23 mm, ensuring a durable lifespan before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s 296 mm outside diameter and 43.5 mm overall height are engineered to match factory specifications for proper fitment and performance. The hat section is finished in Geospec silver grey and treated with a rust-resistant coating to help prevent corrosion over time. The rotor includes five bolt holes with a diameter of 14.3 mm arranged on a 110 mm bolt circle diameter, compatible with the stud/lug hole pattern of the specified vehicles.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Restores braking performance on Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Ion models
- Reduces brake fade caused by heat buildup during extended braking
- Improves pad bite and debris removal with drilled and slotted surface
- Prevents rust and corrosion with protective coating
- Ensures proper fitment and alignment with exact bolt hole and center hole dimensions
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 23 mm before installation. Clean the hub surface to remove rust or debris for proper rotor seating. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts with 14.3 mm diameter on a 110 mm bolt circle. Verify directional rotor orientation during installation to maintain optimal braking performance. No additional hardware is included, so reuse existing mounting components if in good condition.
Quality Assurance
Dynamite Friction rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The rust-resistant coating extends rotor life by minimizing corrosion.
