Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances cooling during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The nominal thickness of 0.945 inches (24.000 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s overall height of 1.850 inches (47.000 mm) and outside diameter of 11.811 inches (300.000 mm) are engineered to match the Jaguar X-Type’s braking system requirements precisely. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.250 inch (107.950 mm) bolt circle diameter provide secure attachment to the vehicle hub.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Jaguar X-Type models
• Resolves brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Addresses reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thinning
• Improves heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during extended use
• Restores proper rotor dimensions for consistent brake pad contact

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub mounting area are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm) to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement to ensure optimal braking system performance.
