Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Product Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line, which focuses on enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The fully coated surfaces help protect against rust, extending the rotor's service life, while the high carbon content improves thermal stability and wear resistance. This combination is particularly beneficial for Jaguar S-Type, Vanden Plas, and XJ8 owners seeking dependable braking components.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355122872 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat absorption and dissipation properties. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 30.00 mm and a discard thickness of 28.40 mm, ensuring it maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. Both the disc and hat are coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is critical for maintaining performance and appearance over time. The full cast construction provides strength and durability, while the 5 bolt hole configuration and 320 mm outside diameter ensure proper fitment on compatible Jaguar models.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Replacement rotor for Jaguar S-Type brake systems
• Suitable for Jaguar Vanden Plas models requiring vented rotors
• Compatible with Jaguar XJ8 for maintaining factory braking performance
• Addresses issues such as rotor warping, excessive wear, and corrosion
• Ideal for restoring braking efficiency and reducing noise or vibration

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355122872 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings or debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit of 28.40 mm to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 bolt holes to avoid uneven wear or rotor damage. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance and rotor longevity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors undergo rigorous quality control to meet OEM standards for fitment and performance. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon construction contribute to the rotor's durability under normal operating conditions. While specific warranty details are not provided, Pagid products typically come with manufacturer-backed assurances against defects in materials and workmanship.
