Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking. The rotor's overall height measures 2.23 inches (56.65 mm), and it includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 3.93 inch (99.8 mm) bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.29 inches (58.15 mm), ensuring proper alignment on the hub. The rotor is conventional, not drum-in-hat type, and does not include an ABS tone ring. Its non-directional braking surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Saab 9-2X and Subaru Forester
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking consistency in Subaru Impreza and Legacy models
• Restores proper rotor thickness to prevent brake fade in Subaru Outback
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub mounting area are clean and free of rust before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22 mm) to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without affecting performance. Confirm compatibility with your specific Saab or Subaru model prior to installation.
