Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can degrade braking performance over time. This coating extends the rotor's service life while maintaining the structural integrity required for consistent braking. The 980338FZN rotor is part of this line, offering vented design features that enhance heat dissipation during braking cycles, suitable for the Suzuki Forenza's braking system requirements.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that improves airflow and heat management, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The nominal thickness of 0.945 inches (24.000 mm) ensures structural strength, while the discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm) indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor's overall height of 1.855 inches (47.100 mm) and outside diameter of 10.070 inches (255.800 mm) are engineered to match the Suzuki Forenza's brake assembly precisely. The rotor includes four mounting bolt holes with a bolt hole diameter of 0.495 inches (12.550 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm), ensuring secure installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Suzuki Forenza vehicles
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface
• Reduces brake fade through vented rotor design for heat dissipation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980338FZN rotor on a Suzuki Forenza, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any contaminants before mounting. Verify that the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm) to maintain safety standards. Use the correct torque specifications for the four mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.
