This coating enhances the rotor's durability without compromising braking performance, making it suitable for daily driving conditions on Acura and Honda vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that improves heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor's nominal thickness is 0.827 inches (21.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.748 inches (19.000 mm), ensuring it meets safety standards for replacement. The overall height measures 1.854 inches (47.100 mm), and the outside diameter is 10.303 inches (261.700 mm), matching OEM specifications for a proper fit. The rotor includes 5 mounting bolt holes and 5 lug holes, with a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) and mounting bolt hole diameter of 0.496 inches (12.600 mm). The smooth surface type ensures even pad wear and consistent braking response.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Acura RSX, Honda Civic, and CR-Z
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps restore braking performance diminished by rotor corrosion or pitting
• Prevents premature rotor wear through corrosion-resistant coating
• Improves heat management to reduce brake fade during extended use

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.748 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to ensure optimal contact
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to maximize braking efficiency
