Its vented construction helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade and maintaining consistent performance. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.181 inches (30.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.102 inches (28.000 mm), which provides clear guidelines for maintenance and replacement. With an outside diameter of 13.575 inches (344.800 mm) and an inside diameter of 8.307 inches (211.000 mm), this rotor fits precisely to the vehicle’s brake assembly. The five mounting bolt holes and a bolt circle diameter of 4.409 inches (112.000 mm) ensure secure installation. The conventional drum-in-hat rotor type is compatible with the Audi S4’s braking system requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating reduces surface rust and maintains a cleaner appearance over time, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles like the Audi S4 that may be exposed to varying weather conditions. The 980491FZN rotor benefits from this coating, contributing to long-term durability and consistent braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi S4 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce brake fade during extended or aggressive braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents rotor corrosion and rust buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper rotor thickness for safe braking operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.102 inches) before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to optimize rotor performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow Audi S4 service manual guidelines for brake system maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos manufactures the Element3; Coated Rotor 980491FZN to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
