DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted Product Line

The DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted line by Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and slots to improve brake pad bite and heat dissipation. This design helps reduce brake fade and maintain consistent braking under demanding conditions. The directional surface pattern and vented rotor construction contribute to efficient cooling, making it suitable for vehicles requiring reliable stopping power and rotor longevity.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with a 294 mm outside diameter and a nominal thickness of 26 mm, ensuring compatibility with specific Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models including the Cougar, Mark VIII, and Sable. The rotor’s drilled and slotted surface improves water and debris evacuation while enhancing pad grip. The plain disc finish paired with a Geospec silver grey hat finish offers corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. The rust resistant coating further protects the rotor from environmental wear. With 5 bolt holes sized at 14.2 mm and a bolt circle diameter of 108 mm, the rotor fits securely on compatible vehicles. The directional brake surface is engineered to optimize braking performance in the intended rotation direction.
