• Vented disc type with drilled and slotted surface for improved cooling
• Directional brake surface optimized for performance and debris removal
• Rust resistant coating to extend rotor life
• Geospec silver grey hat finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Fits vehicles with 5 lug holes and 14.2 mm bolt hole diameter
• Outside diameter of 294 mm and overall height of 46.6 mm

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that helps reduce heat buildup during braking, which is critical for maintaining consistent stopping power and preventing brake fade. The drilled and slotted surface improves water and gas evacuation, enhancing braking performance in wet or demanding conditions. The rotor’s directional surface ensures optimal contact with brake pads, improving overall efficiency.

The rotor’s nominal thickness is 26 mm, with a discard thickness of 24.75 mm, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking. The 5-bolt hole pattern with a 14.2 mm diameter and a bolt circle diameter of 108 mm matches the specifications for compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. The hat is finished in Geospec silver grey, providing additional corrosion resistance, complemented by a rust-resistant coating on the rotor surface.
