Detailed Product Description

This Dynamite Friction rotor features a solid disc design with a drilled and slotted surface type, which helps to reduce brake fade by improving heat dissipation during heavy braking. The directional pattern of the rotor surface is engineered to channel gases and debris away from the contact area, maintaining consistent pad contact and braking efficiency. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 11 mm, with a discard thickness of 10 mm, ensuring a clear service limit for safety and performance. The hat is finished in Geospec silver grey and includes a rust-resistant coating to help prevent corrosion and extend rotor life.

With a bolt hole quantity of five and a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm, this rotor is compatible with a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including the Ford Edge, Taurus, and Mercury Sable. The 330 mm outside diameter and 37.5 mm overall height provide a precise fit for these models, ensuring proper alignment and braking function.

DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted Product Line
