About the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos is designed to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a protective coating. This coating helps prevent rust buildup on the braking surface and rotor hat, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salt. The 980360FZN rotor benefits from this coating, maintaining performance and appearance over time.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and rust buildup on Subaru WRX and Toyota 86
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during spirited driving
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking on Scion FR-S and Subaru Forester
• Ensuring compatibility with 5-lug bolt patterns on specified models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor dimensions and bolt pattern match your vehicle before installation
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Check rotor thickness regularly and replace when reaching discard thickness of 0.866 inches

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos manufactures the Element3; Coated Rotor 980360FZN to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The protective coating enhances durability against corrosion, contributing to longer service life. While specific warranty details vary, Raybestos typically offers coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. Consult product documentation or authorized sources for exact warranty terms.
