R1 16-25 Mazda 6 Front Drilled & Slotted Carbon Coated Brake Rotor Set

If you're looking to improve your Mazda CX-9's braking performance, this set of front drilled and slotted brake rotors from DFC is a solid option. These rotors are designed to fit your 2016-2023 CX-9, as well as the Mazda 6 and CX-5 models within specific year ranges. They replace your stock rotors, offering a noticeable upgrade in how your brakes handle heat and stop your vehicle.

What sets these rotors apart is the combination of drilled holes and slotted grooves, along with a carbon coating. The drilled holes help to vent gases and heat away from the brake pad surface, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during hard braking or repeated stops. The slots serve a similar purpose, clearing away dust and gas buildup, while also helping to keep the rotor surface clean. The carbon coating is applied to protect the rotors from rust and corrosion, especially during shipping and initial storage, and it wears off after the first few brake applications. This well-built set is designed to offer improved stopping power and a more consistent feel compared to standard, plain rotors.

When installing these rotors, remember that the carbon coating will need to be cleaned off before bedding in your new brake pads. It's always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the proper bedding procedure to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new brake components.
