About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This conventional solid rotor offers reliable braking performance while maintaining structural integrity under normal driving conditions. The coating helps reduce rust buildup, which is especially beneficial for vehicles like the Mazda 3 and 3 Sport that may encounter varied weather conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is a solid type, providing a consistent braking surface without venting. It includes five mounting bolt holes and five stud/lug holes, ensuring secure attachment to the wheel hub. The nominal thickness of 0.430 inches (10.900 mm) and discard thickness of 0.354 inches (9.000 mm) define the usable rotor thickness range for safe operation. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 11.020 inches (279.900 mm), with an overall height of 1.605 inches (40.750 mm), matching factory specifications for proper fitment on compatible Mazda models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mazda 3 and 3 Sport
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Resolves noise issues related to rotor corrosion or damage
• Improves braking consistency after rotor wear beyond discard thickness
• Prevents premature rotor failure due to rust and corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify that the mounting bolt holes and center hole align correctly with the vehicle hub. Measure rotor thickness to confirm it meets minimum specifications before installation. Use proper torque settings on mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
