Do I need to buy two of these rotors for my vehicle?

Yes, this part number is for a single front left brake rotor. Your vehicle requires one rotor for the front left side and another for the front right side. You will need to purchase two rotors for the front axle.

What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors over standard ones?

Drilled holes help vent heat and gases away from the rotor surface, which can prevent brake fade during heavy use. The slots help to keep the brake pad surface clean by sweeping away dust and water, leading to more consistent braking performance.

Does this rotor come with any hardware?

This brake rotor is sold individually and does not include installation hardware such as lug nuts or brake pads. It is recommended to inspect your existing hardware and replace any worn components when installing new rotors.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to improve your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer's braking performance, especially if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or tow, a good set of rotors makes a big difference. This front left rotor from R1 Concepts is drilled and slotted, which helps keep your brakes cooler and working more consistently.

The drilled holes allow gases and heat to escape from the rotor surface, preventing fade during hard braking. The slots help sweep away dust and water, maintaining a cleaner pad surface for better grip. R1 Concepts coats these rotors in black to help prevent rust on the non-friction surfaces, keeping them looking good even after installation. This rotor is a direct replacement for your original equipment, meaning it fits right without modification.
