Product Line Details: Element3; Coated Rotor

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts, such as the Audi A6 and S4 models. The 980028FZN part maintains the structural integrity and performance standards expected from Raybestos while offering enhanced surface protection.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that promotes efficient heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 1.181 inches (30.000 mm) ensures a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 1.102 inches (28.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s overall height of 1.831 inches (46.500 mm) and outside diameter of 12.638 inches (321.000 mm) are engineered to match the exact fitment requirements for compatible Audi vehicles. The five mounting bolt holes and corresponding bolt circle diameter of 112.000 mm (4.409 inches) ensure secure installation on the hub assembly.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Replacement rotor for Audi A6 and A6 Quattro models
• Suitable for Audi Allroad Quattro with matching specifications
• Compatible with Audi S4 and S6 models requiring vented disc rotors
• Designed for use in conventional brake systems with standard mounting configurations
• Ideal for addressing rotor wear, brake noise, and heat-related braking issues

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness
• Clean mounting surfaces and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Perform a test drive to confirm proper brake operation after installation
