Product Line Details: Element3; Coated Rotor

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can degrade braking performance over time. This coating extends the rotor's service life while maintaining smooth braking surfaces. The vented design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a smooth surface type and a vented design to optimize cooling. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 23.1 mm and a discard thickness of 21.4 mm, ensuring it meets safety standards for replacement. The inside diameter measures 172 mm, with a center hole diameter of 69 mm, and it includes five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. The overall height is 44.5 mm, and the outside diameter is 280 mm, making it suitable for the specified Hyundai and Kia models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust that affect braking efficiency
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Ensuring compatibility with specific Hyundai and Kia models for precise fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980897FZN rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the minimum discard thickness of 21.4 mm. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
