Detailed Product Description

The Pagid disc brake rotor 355122432 is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Its vented design allows for better heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Both the disc and hat surfaces are coated to provide rust resistance, which helps maintain rotor integrity and appearance over time. The rotor’s full cast construction ensures uniform strength and durability, while the 6 bolt hole configuration matches the factory specifications for Volkswagen Corrado, Golf, Jetta, and Passat models. With an outside diameter of 288 mm and a height of 28.60 mm, this rotor meets precise fitment requirements for these vehicles.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing vibration or noise
• Upgrading corroded rotors to restore braking efficiency
• Addressing brake fade due to overheating with vented rotor design
• Ensuring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Maintaining OEM fitment and compatibility for Volkswagen models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below 23.00 mm discard thickness
• Ensure proper cleaning of hub surface to prevent uneven rotor mounting
• Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to avoid uneven rotor wear
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation for optimal braking performance
