About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can degrade braking performance over time. This coating enhances the rotor's longevity while maintaining the necessary friction surface for reliable stopping power. The 980089FZN part benefits from this coating, making it suitable for vehicles that encounter varied weather conditions.

Technical Specifications and Fitment Details

This vented disc brake rotor is designed for conventional mounting and features five lug holes, matching the bolt pattern of many Hyundai and Kia models. Its vented design allows for better heat dissipation compared to solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor's dimensions ensure compatibility with the following vehicles: Hyundai Elantra, Sonata, Tiburon, Tucson, and Kia Magentis, Optima, Rondo, Soul, and Sportage.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion that leads to uneven braking
• Improving heat management to reduce brake fade on daily commutes
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Ensuring correct fitment for Hyundai and Kia vehicles with 5-lug bolt patterns

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980089FZN rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to maintain proper rotor alignment. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the nominal thickness of 1.025 inches (26.050 mm) and is above the discard thickness of 0.961 inches (24.400 mm). Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos rotors undergo rigorous quality control to meet industry standards for safety and durability. The Element3; Coated Rotor line includes a protective coating to resist corrosion, contributing to longer service life. While specific warranty details for part number 980089FZN should be confirmed with the manufacturer, Raybestos typically offers limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship.
