Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos Specialty - Street Performance rotor 980710 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 specifically suited for Nissan Maxima models that require this configuration. The rotor's nominal thickness of 0.631 inches (16.050 mm) ensures sufficient material for heat dissipation and durability, while the discard thickness of 0.551 inches (14.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary.

With an outside diameter of 12.117 inches (307.750 mm) and an inside diameter of 8.376 inches (212.750 mm), this rotor fits precisely within the brake assembly. The mounting bolt pattern includes five holes with a diameter of 0.501 inches (12.750 mm) arranged on a 4.500 inch (114.300 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching the Nissan Maxima specifications. The smooth surface type supports consistent brake pad contact and wear.
