About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on delivering rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts, such as the Hyundai Amanti and Kia Azera. The 980277FZN rotor combines this coating with a vented design to maintain optimal braking performance under various driving conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The nominal thickness of 1.102 inches (28.000 mm) ensures durability, while the discard thickness of 1.039 inches (26.400 mm) indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety. The rotor’s overall height of 1.850 inches (47.000 mm) and outside diameter of 11.930 inches (303.000 mm) are engineered to match the exact fitment requirements of the specified Hyundai and Kia models. The five mounting bolt holes and corresponding bolt circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) provide secure installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Hyundai Amanti, Kia Azera, and Kia XG350
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps restore proper braking performance and pedal feel
• Prevents brake fade by improving heat dissipation with vented design
• Resists corrosion to extend rotor service life in harsh environments

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.039 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fit
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to avoid uneven rotor wear
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize braking performance
