The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on corrosion resistance and durability through a protective coating. This coating helps extend rotor life by reducing rust and wear, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to varying weather conditions. The 980317FZN rotor maintains consistent braking performance while minimizing maintenance needs.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented to enhance cooling during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 0.984 inches ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.906 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety. The rotor’s overall height of 1.850 inches and outside diameter of 11.810 inches are designed to match factory specifications for proper fit and function. The five mounting bolt holes and corresponding bolt circle diameter ensure secure installation on compatible Acura and Honda models.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Acura ILX and Honda Civic
• Improves braking consistency on Honda CR-V and CSX models
• Addresses rotor corrosion issues with coated surface
• Reduces brake fade during extended use due to vented design
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.906 inches before installation. Clean the mounting surface and check for any debris or rust to guarantee a flush fit. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking efficiency.
