Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a protective coating. This coating helps reduce rust buildup, maintaining rotor integrity and appearance over time. The 980550FZN rotor benefits from this coating, making it suitable for Volvo vehicles that require consistent braking performance under various driving conditions.

Technical Specifications and Fitment

This solid disc brake rotor is designed specifically for Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 models. With an outside diameter of 280 mm and a nominal thickness of 11 mm, it meets the precise OEM specifications for these vehicles. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 107.95 mm bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure installation. The center hole diameter of 63.6 mm aligns with the hub for proper fitment. The discard thickness of 9 mm indicates the minimum thickness before replacement is necessary, supporting safe maintenance practices.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake noise and vibration
• Prevents rust and corrosion buildup with coated surface
• Restores braking efficiency and pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 9.000 mm to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance. Check for any hub surface irregularities that could affect rotor seating.
