• Compatible with 5-lug wheel configurations and specific bolt patterns

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The StopTech Sport Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotor 128.61088L features a vented rotor design with straight vanes that promote airflow and help maintain optimal operating temperatures during braking. The cross-drilled surface pattern enhances water and gas evacuation, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. This rotor has a nominal thickness of 0.980 inches (24.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.0 mm), ensuring clear service limits for safe replacement intervals.

The rotor's overall diameter measures 11.772 inches (299 mm) with an overall height of 1.913 inches (48.6 mm). It includes a coated hat finish to protect against rust and corrosion, which is critical for maintaining performance over time. The rotor mounts using a floating disc system and features a 5-lug hole pattern with a 4.5-inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with the specified vehicle models. The center hole diameter is 2.839 inches (72.1 mm), and the rotor weighs approximately 18.6 lbs (8.45 kg).
