The rotor's outside diameter measures 11.878 inches (301.700 mm), while the inside diameter is 7.862 inches (199.700 mm). It has an overall height of 1.700 inches (43.200 mm), providing the correct dimensions for proper fitment on the Mazda RX-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rotor includes 5 mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.500 inch (114.300 mm) bolt circle diameter, with each hole diameter at 0.507 inches (12.900 mm). The center hole diameter is 2.835 inches (72.000 mm), matching the hub specifications for this vehicle. The vented design helps dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion. This coating extends the rotor's service life and maintains a cleaner appearance over time. The 980522FZN rotor benefits from this coating, making it suitable for drivers who want durable, long-lasting brake components for their Mazda RX-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Mazda RX-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce brake fade through vented rotor design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures proper fitment and braking performance with exact OEM specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify rotor thickness before installation; discard if below 0.630 inches (16.000 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest brakes after installation to confirm proper operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 980522FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
