Detailed Product Description
The Raybestos R-Line 96278R disc brake rotor is designed specifically for Mazda MPV vehicles, ensuring proper fit and function. This rotor features a vented design that helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. The rotor's overall diameter measures 10.070 inches (255.8 mm), with a nominal thickness of 1.180 inches (29.95 mm), providing a solid braking surface. When the rotor thickness reaches the discard thickness of 1.102 inches (28.00 mm), replacement is recommended to maintain braking efficiency and safety.
The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching the Mazda MPV's hub specifications. The center hole diameter of 2.834 inches (72.00 mm) ensures proper alignment and fitment.
