Product Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is a vented type, which enhances heat dissipation during braking to reduce the risk of brake fade. The rotor has a conventional design with four mounting bolt holes spaced on a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper alignment and secure installation. The nominal thickness of 1.029 inches (26.15 mm) and discard thickness of 0.945 inches (24.00 mm) define the usable rotor thickness range, critical for maintaining safe braking performance. The overall height of 1.866 inches (47.4 mm) and outside diameter of 10.825 inches (274.95 mm) are engineered to match the original equipment specifications for the Kia Spectra and Spectra5.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust that affect braking smoothness
• Resolving brake noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat management to prevent brake fade during extended use
• Ensuring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980385FZN rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify that the rotor thickness is within the specified nominal and discard limits before installation. Use the correct torque specifications for the four mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
