Detailed Product Description and Specifications

The Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor part number 96706FZN is a vented disc brake rotor designed for the Honda Prelude. Its vented construction helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.355 inches (9.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.315 inches (8.000 mm), which are critical measurements for maintaining safe braking performance and determining rotor service life. The overall height of 1.660 inches (42.150 mm) and an outside diameter of 10.225 inches (259.700 mm) ensure proper fitment and alignment with the vehicle’s braking system. This rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter, matching the Honda Prelude’s hub specifications. The center hole diameter of 2.524 inches (64.100 mm) allows for precise centering on the hub, minimizing vibration and ensuring smooth operation.

About the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos is designed to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and consistent braking performance. The coating applied to the rotor surface helps protect against rust and extends the rotor’s service life, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt exposure. This product line balances durability with reliable stopping power, making it suitable for daily driving conditions and moderate performance demands.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Honda Prelude models
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade from overheating during extended braking
• Prevents rust buildup that can impair braking efficiency
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean hub surface to ensure proper rotor seating and prevent runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain balanced braking
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize rotor and pad contact

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
