Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos 980455FZN disc brake rotor is a vented, conventional type rotor designed specifically for Mitsubishi Eclipse and Galant models. Its vented construction helps reduce heat buildup during braking, which can improve rotor longevity and braking consistency. The rotor measures 11.579 inches (294.1 mm) in outside diameter and has an overall height of 1.794 inches (45.55 mm), ensuring proper clearance and fitment. It features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching OEM specifications for secure installation.

The nominal thickness of this rotor is 1.024 inches (26.0 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.961 inches (24.4 mm), indicating the minimum thickness before replacement is necessary. This helps maintain safe braking performance and prevents rotor warping or failure. The conventional solid mounting design is compatible with standard brake systems on the specified Mitsubishi models.

Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos is designed to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a protective coating. This coating helps prevent rust buildup on the rotor surface and edges, which is especially beneficial in regions with high humidity or road salt exposure. The 980455FZN rotor benefits from this coating, maintaining a cleaner appearance and consistent braking performance over time.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mitsubishi Eclipse and Galant
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Prevents rust and corrosion buildup with coated surface
• Ensures secure fitment with OEM bolt pattern and dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness
• Clean mounting surface and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to avoid uneven rotor wear
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize braking performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos disc brake rotors, including the 980455FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The Element3; Coated Rotor line undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure durability and consistent braking performance. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or Raybestos directly, as coverage may vary by region and application.
