Detailed Product Description

The AR8102 disc brake rotor features a vented design that promotes better airflow and heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency and reducing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (23.90 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22.20 mm), this rotor meets the precise wear limits for safe operation. The rotor's outside diameter of 11.30 inches (287.00 mm) and overall height of 4.30 inches (108.00 mm) ensure compatibility with the front brake assemblies of Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Mercury Montego models. The 5-lug hole pattern with a 4.50-inch (114.30 mm) bolt circle diameter matches factory specifications for secure mounting. Note that this rotor does not include a rust resistant coating, so proper maintenance is recommended to prevent corrosion over time.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped front brake rotors on Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Montego
