Product Details

StopTech Sport Slotted Disc Brake Rotors are engineered as OE-style replacements for stock caliper setups while adding performance-focused slotting to the friction surface. On applications such as the Ford Explorer, Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS, this rotor supports more consistent wet and dry braking by helping clear gases, dust, and heat from the pad-to-rotor interface. The coated hat finish and black e-coating help resist corrosion where the rotor is not contacting the pads, while the vented construction supports heat management during repeated stops. Part number 126.65136SL is a practical upgrade for drivers seeking a direct-fit front left rotor with a performance-oriented surface pattern.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake pad glazing that reduces pedal response
• Excess brake dust buildup on the rotor face
• Heat-related fade during repeated braking
• Corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
• Reduced bite in wet or dry conditions

Installation Notes

Install on the front left position only where the vehicle uses the listed 352 mm front disc and vented hat configuration. Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, center hole diameter, and caliper clearance before installation. This rotor is made for factory brake systems and stock calipers; proper bedding-in of new pads and rotors helps establish even pad transfer and stable braking performance.

Quality Assurance

StopTech uses high carbon metallurgy in most applications to support quieter operation and better crack resistance, along with a black e-coating for corrosion protection on non-friction surfaces. This part cross-references no listed alternate part numbers in the provided data.
