Raybestos R-Line Product Line Details

The Raybestos R-Line product line focuses on delivering dependable brake components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing tolerances, making the 980172R2 rotor a suitable replacement part for vehicles requiring solid disc brake rotors with conventional mounting.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is constructed from cast iron, a material known for its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures generated during braking. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 0.394 inches (10 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.315 inches (8 mm), indicating when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The overall height measures 1.57 inches (39.9 mm), and the outside diameter is 11.015 inches (279.8 mm), ensuring compatibility with the specified vehicle models. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes with a circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) and a hole diameter of 0.511 inches (13 mm). It does not include an ABS tone ring and is designed as a solid, non-directional rotor suitable for conventional brake systems.

  • Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • Mercury Milan
  • Mazda Protege and Ford Zephyr

This rotor is intended for use in disc brake systems on these vehicles, providing a direct replacement that meets factory specifications.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

  • Brake rotor wear and thinning beyond discard thickness
  • Warped or uneven rotor surfaces causing brake pulsation
  • Corrosion or rust compromising braking efficiency
  • Noise or vibration during braking due to rotor damage
  • Replacement for worn or damaged original equipment rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets nominal specifications. Clean the mounting surface and hub to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with the vehicle’s ABS system. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
