Product Details

Power Stop AR8165XPR is part of the Power Stop rear drilled, slotted and zinc plated brake rotor line, which focuses on bolt-on brake upgrades for drivers who want improved thermal control and consistent pad contact without changing the factory fitment. This rotor uses a slotted X-drilled surface and a vented design to help maintain braking performance under demanding stop-and-go or high-load conditions. The zinc-plated finish adds a corrosion-resistant layer that helps protect the rotor surface in everyday use.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 680129 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade during repeated rear braking events
• Rotor surface rust and corrosion buildup
• Dust, gas, and moisture interference at the pad-to-rotor contact area
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn or heat-affected rear rotors
• Replacement needs for rear brake service on Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Marauder models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install AR8165XPR on the rear axle only for the listed Ford and Mercury vehicles. Verify rotor dimensions, hub fit, and brake pad condition before installation, and inspect calipers, slides, and parking brake components during service. Because this rotor is a direct OE-fit replacement, no special modifications are required when used on the confirmed applications.

Quality Assurance

Power Stop manufactures this rotor with OE-fit dimensions, a corrosion-resistant zinc coating, and a vented drilled-and-slotted design intended to meet the needs of the specified rear brake applications. Part number AR8165XPR is listed for 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder rear fitment.
