Product Line Details: Power Stop - Rear Genuine Geomet High Carbon Coated Rotor

This rotor is part of the Power Stop - Rear Genuine Geomet High Carbon Coated Rotor line, which focuses on providing rear brake rotors with a high carbon cast iron core and a Geomet coating. The coating enhances corrosion resistance, extending rotor life and maintaining braking efficiency. This product line is tailored for rear axle applications on specific Audi and Volkswagen models, ensuring compatibility and performance that meet OEM standards.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The EBR1498EVC rotor is a solid disc brake rotor designed for rear brake systems. Its high carbon cast iron material improves thermal conductivity and reduces the risk of warping under heavy braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.47 inches (11.90 mm) and discard thickness of 0.39 inches (10.00 mm) provide clear service limits for maintenance. The rust-resistant Geomet coating helps prevent corrosion, which is especially beneficial in climates prone to moisture and road salt exposure.

This rotor is compatible with the following vehicles: Audi A3, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Q3, Q3 Quattro, Tiguan, and TT Quattro. The mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.40 inches (112.00 mm) and 5 lug holes ensure proper fitment on these models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rear brake rotors on Audi A3 and Volkswagen Jetta
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Prevents rust and corrosion-related rotor degradation
• Restores braking performance on Volkswagen Q3 and Tiguan rear brakes
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing reduced stopping power or brake pulsation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop EBR1498EVC rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is within the nominal range and above the discard thickness to maintain safety. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and replace them if worn to ensure optimal braking performance.
