Raybestos Specialty - Street Performance Product Line

The Raybestos Specialty - Street Performance line focuses on delivering dependable braking components designed for street performance applications. This product line balances durability and performance, making it suitable for drivers seeking consistent braking response without the need for racing-grade parts. The 982882 rotor fits within this line by providing a vented, full cast iron rotor optimized for Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. The vented design enhances airflow through the rotor, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade under normal street driving conditions. With a nominal thickness of 1.26 inches (32 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm), the rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The rotor’s overall diameter of 14.961 inches (380 mm) and inside diameter of 10.394 inches (264 mm) ensure proper fitment on Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles. Featuring five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.724 inch (120 mm) bolt circle diameter, this rotor is designed for straightforward installation and compatibility with factory hardware.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Tesla Model S and Model X
• Improves braking consistency and reduces brake noise
• Addresses rotor overheating and brake fade during extended street driving
• Restores proper rotor thickness to maintain safe braking performance
• Compatible with conventional braking systems requiring vented rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before installation. Verify that the mounting bolt holes align correctly with the vehicle hub. Since this rotor does not include bearings or ABS tone rings, reuse existing components if applicable. Check rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos manufactures this rotor to meet OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The full cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking performance and durability. While specific warranty details are not provided, Raybestos products typically adhere to industry quality controls to ensure reliability for Tesla Model S and Model X applications.
