Element3 Coated Rotors; With R-Line Ceramic Pads; Includes Hardware; Includes Hardware
Raybestos Element3 Coated Rotors use a propriety finishing technology to coat each rotor's entire surface, including the cooling vanes, to ensure optimal airflow and cooling. The full Grey Fusion 4.0™ coating helps resist corrosion and significantly delays rust-induced performance issues. Three years of field testing prove these rotors stand up to rain, salt and snow!
Rotor Features:
Developed from OE samples and made with G3000-qualified material, guaranteeing form, fit and function for dependable performance
Each rotor is fully coated with a proprietary Grey Fusion 4.0™ coating. This coating has been tested to meet or exceed salt-spray test regulation ASTM-B117, which exceeds original equipment requirements
Coated cooling vanes keeps the vanes clear of rust and corrosion for optimal airflow and cooling
Meet the SAE standard for tensile strength, providing structural integrity and a maximum service life
Non-directional ground finish gives you a product that is ready to install right out of the box
Lateral runout of 0.004” or less and a thickness variation of less than 0.0005” ensures less pedal pulsation, less brake noise, and extended pad life
Mill balanced and 100% validated, leading to proper balance, minimized vibration, and quieter and smoother stopping
Great for drivers in rust-prone areas like the rust belt or coastal regions with salt in the air and high humidity
Pad Features:
Friction material is consistent with OE specifications
Includes premium layered steel shims
Slots and chamfers match OE design which allows brake gasses to escape and helps to reduce noise, vibration, harshness
Installation Tips
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
Before installing the rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply brake lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
