Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating to resist corrosion and extend service life. This coating helps maintain rotor integrity under various driving conditions, making it suitable for Ford Mustang vehicles that demand consistent braking performance over time.

Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances cooling by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.550 inches (13.950 mm) ensures structural strength, while the discard thickness of 0.504 inches (12.800 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The overall height of 1.975 inches (50.150 mm) and outside diameter of 10.510 inches (266.950 mm) are engineered to match the Ford Mustang’s brake system specifications. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 114.3 mm (4.5 inch) bolt circle diameter, with a center hole diameter of 2.785 inches (70.750 mm), ensuring proper fitment and secure installation.
