PowerStop EBR680EVC Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Power Stop Rear Rotor for Saab 9-3

The Power Stop - Rear Genuine Geomet High Carbon Coated Rotor (Part Number EBR680EVC) is engineered specifically for the Saab 9-3. Designed to provide reliable braking performance, this vented disc brake rotor features a high carbon cast iron construction with a rust-resistant coating to enhance durability and longevity.

• High carbon cast iron material for improved heat dissipation
• Vented rotor design to reduce brake fade
• Rust-resistant Geomet coating for corrosion protection
• Nominal thickness of 0.79 inches (20.00 mm) with discard thickness at 0.71 inches (18.00 mm)
• Overall height of 1.60 inches (41.50 mm) and outside diameter of 11.50 inches (292.00 mm)
• Mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.30 inches (110.00 mm) with 5 lug holes

Product Line Details

The Power Stop - Rear Genuine Geomet High Carbon Coated Rotor line focuses on delivering rotors with enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The high carbon cast iron material improves thermal conductivity, while the Geomet coating protects against rust, making these rotors suitable for rear brake applications on vehicles like the Saab 9-3. This product line balances performance and longevity for consistent braking under various driving conditions.

Technical Description

This disc brake rotor is designed as a vented type, which allows better airflow to dissipate heat generated during braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.79 inches (20.00 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.71 inches (18.00 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s overall height and outside diameter are precisely matched to the Saab 9-3’s rear brake system, ensuring proper fitment and function. The rust-resistant Geomet coating extends the rotor’s service life by preventing corrosion, a common issue in brake components exposed to moisture and road salts.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rear rotors on Saab 9-3 models
• Addresses brake fade caused by overheating during extended braking
• Prevents rust and corrosion that can lead to uneven braking or rotor damage
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe and effective braking performance
• Compatible with vehicles requiring a 5-lug, 110 mm bolt circle diameter rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop EBR680EVC rotor on a Saab 9-3, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit to maintain safety. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.

Quality Assurance

Power Stop rotors undergo rigorous quality control to meet OEM standards for fit and function. The high carbon cast iron material and Geomet coating contribute to consistent braking performance and extended rotor life. While specific warranty details are not provided, Power Stop products are manufactured to maintain reliability and durability in line with industry expectations.
