Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a conventional solid-in-hat design with a vented structure to enhance heat dissipation during braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm) ensures a robust braking surface, while the discard thickness of 1.122 inches (28.5 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness for replacement. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 12.598 inches (320 mm), and the inside diameter is 8.169 inches (207.5 mm), fitting the specified Ford models precisely. The 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter matches factory specifications for secure installation. The smooth, non-directional braking surface supports consistent pad contact and wear.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Mustang and Mustang Mach-E
• Addresses brake pulsation and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores braking performance compromised by rotor thickness below discard limits
• Compatible upgrade for maintaining OEM braking feel and safety

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of rust or debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.122 inches (28.5 mm) to maintain safety standards. Use the 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter to align the rotor correctly. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid rotor warping.
