Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos R-Line rotor, part number 980788R, is a vented disc brake rotor designed to optimize braking efficiency and heat management for the Mini Cooper. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor features a smooth surface type, ensuring even contact with brake pads to minimize noise and vibration.

With an outside diameter of 12.440 inches and an overall height of 1.775 inches, this rotor fits precisely on Mini Cooper models requiring a 4-bolt mounting pattern with a 3.937-inch bolt circle diameter. The nominal thickness of 0.864 inches provides durability, while the discard thickness of 0.791 inches indicates the minimum safe thickness for replacement.
