This line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing tolerances, ensuring that the 980220R rotor maintains consistent performance and durability for Acura TL vehicles.

Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design, which enhances cooling by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor's nominal thickness is 1.102 inches (28.0 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.024 inches (26.0 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking. The overall diameter measures 11.81 inches (299.95 mm), and the rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching the Acura TL's hub specifications. The center hole diameter of 2.524 inches (64.1 mm) ensures proper alignment and fitment. The overall height of 1.85 inches (47.0 mm) corresponds to the rotor's thickness including the hat section, suitable for conventional rotor setups.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Acura TL vehicles
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy braking
• Restores proper rotor thickness for consistent braking performance
• Compatible with conventional brake systems requiring vented rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub mounting area are clean and free of rust or debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness with a micrometer to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Use proper torque settings on the five mounting bolts to secure the rotor evenly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking efficiency and rotor lifespan.
