Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos R-Line 8527R rotor is a vented disc brake rotor designed to provide consistent braking performance under various driving conditions. Its vented design allows for better heat dissipation compared to solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.435 inches (36.450 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.320 inches (33.550 mm), ensuring a clear maintenance threshold for safe operation. With an outside diameter of 15 inches (381 mm) and an overall height of 6.100 inches (154.950 mm), this rotor fits vehicles requiring a conventional rotor design with a 5-bolt mounting pattern. The mounting bolt hole circle diameter measures 12.750 inches (323.850 mm), and the rotor includes five lug holes, each with a diameter of 0.761 inches (19.350 mm), suitable for compatible vehicle applications.

R-Line Product Line Information

The R-Line by Raybestos is a product line focused on delivering dependable brake components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. The 8527R rotor within this line is engineered to provide a balance of performance and durability, making it suitable for drivers seeking reliable replacement parts for their braking system. The R-Line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing to ensure consistent fit and function.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading from solid to vented rotors for improved heat dissipation
• Resolving brake noise or vibration related to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Maintaining proper rotor dimensions for safe braking performance
• Ensuring compatibility with vehicles requiring a 5-lug, 15-inch rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos R-Line 8527R rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify that the mounting bolt holes and center hole align precisely with the vehicle hub. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. Always check rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness and is above the discard thickness limit.
