Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with 40 straight vanes, which enhances airflow and cooling during braking. The cross-drilled and slotted surface helps to reduce brake fade by allowing gases and debris to escape, maintaining consistent pad contact. The coated vented hat finish protects against rust and corrosion, extending rotor life. With a nominal thickness of 0.827 inches and a discard thickness of 0.780 inches, these rotors meet strict OEM specifications for durability and performance. The rotor is designed for hub and rotor disc mounting and includes a center hole diameter of 3.252 inches (82.600 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.300 mm), suitable for 5-lug configurations common on Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Villager models.
