Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos R-Line 8512R rotor is a vented, conventional disc brake rotor designed to provide consistent braking performance under various driving conditions. The vented design allows for enhanced airflow, reducing heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. With an overall height of 3.800 inches and an outside diameter of 14.750 inches, this rotor is engineered to fit specific vehicle brake assemblies requiring these dimensions.

The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.345 inches, with a discard thickness of 1.225 inches, indicating the minimum thickness before replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. The 5 mounting bolt holes and 5 stud/lug holes ensure compatibility with vehicles that use this bolt pattern, while the center hole diameter of 5.404 inches guarantees proper hub centering. The mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 6.750 inches further supports secure and precise installation.
