Power Stop Iron Front Brake Rotor 12.5in

Description

Product Overview

The Power Stop front brake rotor combines high‑strength iron construction with a machined exterior finish for durability and a premium look. Measuring 12.5 inches in diameter and weighing 63 pounds, this rotor is engineered for vehicle‑specific applications, ensuring a perfect fit for the intended models. Key design elements include precision‑drilled cooling holes that reduce operating temperature by up to 180 °F and longitudinal slots that maintain a clean contact patch between pad and rotor, enhancing bite and reducing brake fade. The rotor carries the OEM part number AR8771XPR, matching the original equipment specifications for seamless replacement.

Usage

Designed for everyday driving and spirited performance, this rotor excels in stop‑and‑go traffic, highway cruising, and track‑day scenarios where consistent braking is critical. It is ideal for car enthusiasts who have upgraded to larger or custom wheels and demand a rotor that complements both aesthetics and function. Whether installed on a daily driver or a weekend track car, the rotor delivers reliable, repeatable braking performance.

FAQ

Do I need to replace the brake pads when installing this rotor?

While not mandatory, replacing brake pads at the same time as the rotor ensures optimal performance and even wear, providing the best braking feel.

Can this rotor be used with aftermarket wheels?

Yes, the rotor’s 12.5‑inch diameter is compatible with most aftermarket wheel setups, but verify clearance with your specific wheel and tire combination.

What is the benefit of the drilled holes?

The drilled holes dissipate heat more efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade and extending rotor life, especially under heavy or repeated braking.

Are these rotors suitable for track use?

They are designed for high‑performance street driving and occasional track days, offering improved cooling and consistent bite, though dedicated track‑only rotors may provide additional extreme‑heat tolerance.

How do I know if this rotor fits my vehicle?

Match the OEM part number AR8771XPR to your vehicle’s specifications or consult the fit guide on the Power Stop website to confirm compatibility.
