Overview of Dynamite Friction DFC Geoperformance Rotor

The Dynamite Friction DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted (part number 830-54144R) is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles. Designed with a vented, directional surface, this rotor enhances heat dissipation and braking consistency for models like the Ford Ranger and Mazda B3000.

• Disc brake rotor with drilled and slotted surface for improved heat and gas dissipation
• Vented rotor design to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Directional braking surface optimized for consistent pad contact
• Rust resistant coating for extended rotor life
• Geospec silver grey hat finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Compatible bolt pattern with 5 lug holes and 16mm diameter
• Outside diameter of 286mm and nominal thickness of 26mm

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Dynamite Friction rotor features a 286mm outside diameter and a nominal thickness of 26mm, with a discard thickness of 24.5mm to ensure safe replacement intervals. The rotor is vented, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to reduce heat buildup during braking. The drilled and slotted surface design helps evacuate gases and debris, improving braking performance under demanding conditions. The directional surface pattern is engineered to maintain optimal pad contact and consistent braking feel.

The rotor’s hat is finished in Geospec silver grey, providing corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Additionally, the rotor includes a rust resistant coating to further protect against environmental damage. The bolt hole diameter and stud/lug hole diameter are both 16mm, with a bolt circle diameter of 114.3mm, making it compatible with vehicles requiring a 5-lug pattern.
