Detailed Product Description

This StopTech rotor is designed specifically for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles including the Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, and Town Car. The vented rotor construction allows air to flow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup during braking. The cross-drilled holes and slots on the rotor surface help evacuate gases, dust, and water, which can improve brake pad contact and reduce brake fade under demanding conditions. The floating disc mounting system combined with straight vane style enhances rotor cooling efficiency and durability. With a precise 5-lug bolt pattern and center hole diameter, this rotor ensures a secure and accurate fit for the specified vehicles.

StopTech Select Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors Line

The StopTech Select Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors line focuses on delivering enhanced braking performance through advanced rotor surface technology.
