Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake rotor is designed specifically for Nissan Maxima models, ensuring proper fit and function. The rotor features a vented design that helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The drum-in-hat type rotor integrates a parking brake drum, combining two functions into one component. The smooth surface type provides consistent contact with brake pads for reliable stopping power.

The rotor's nominal thickness of 0.631 inches (16.050 mm) and discard thickness of 0.551 inches (14.000 mm) define the usable lifespan before replacement is necessary. The 5 mounting bolt holes and 5 stud/lug holes with a bolt circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) ensure secure installation on compatible Nissan Maxima models. The coated finish helps protect the rotor from rust and corrosion, maintaining performance and appearance over time.
