Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos R-Line 980568R rotor is a vented disc brake rotor featuring a drum-in-hat design, which integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor assembly. This design is common in many INFINITI vehicles such as the G35, G37, and Q60, providing both braking and parking brake functionality in one component. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.630 inches (16.000 mm) ensures durability and heat dissipation, while the discard thickness of 0.591 inches (15.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor measures 12.984 inches (329.800 mm) in outside diameter and has an overall height of 2.441 inches (62.000 mm), matching factory specifications for proper fit and performance. The mounting bolt pattern includes five holes with a 4.500 inch (114.300 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure installation on compatible INFINITI models.
